Tuesday, September 9, 2025, is HIGH ATTENDANCE DAY!
Schools are competing against schools, classrooms are competing against classrooms, classes are competing against other classes and districts are competing against each other statewide.
Let's show everyone that HCS is BEST and has the best attendance EVERY DAY!!!

Tuesday is HIGH ATTENDANCE DAY across the Commonwealth!
We encourage our students to attend school every day, but especially on Tuesday, September 9, 2025! Bragging rights are on the line in our district-wide competition!!! Great attendance that day helps HCS as we compete with other districts in Kentucky.
