ANNOUNCEMENTS
Appreciation Week - November 12-13: We set aside a special time each semester to show appreciation to those who serve HCHE so faithfully. Is there a Teacher, Vital Partner, Staff Member, NLC Hospitality Staff member or another parent who has made your time here especially meaningful? Here’s your chance to let them know with a note of thanks, a homemade treat or any “special something.”
Lunch Special: Tito's Burritos, owned by one of our High Country families, will have their Food Truck on-site Tuesday and Wednesday, November 5-6, for lunch. They will have their full menu available, along with some specials for our High Country family. 10% of proceeds will go back to High Country to help our lunch program. Don't forget, you can pre-order their Heavenly Salsa (16oz.) for delivery the following week. Only a few weeks left to take advantage of this great opportunity.
Become a Teacher: We are excited about our Spring schedule of classes and can’t wait to share it with you. There are still some teaching time slots available. Please contact Kristin at classdirector@hche.org to get more information.
Spring 2025 Registration Appointment Requests: The link to request a registration appointment will open Friday, November 10th at 7:00am on our website in the black banner at the top. Registration volunteers do not need to request an appointment but will automatically receive an appointment time.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide you with a registration appointment if you have an outstanding balance with us. If you have questions about your family statement, please email financemanager@hche.org.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR GRADUATING HCCA SENIOR PARENTS you need to contact Julie Blank (academydirector@hche.org) ASAP if your student(s) will be graduating this school year. HCCA administration must approve each student who is planning to graduate. Our graduation ceremony is set for May 17, 2024.
GOOD TO KNOW Did you know that your curriculum plan is very important? Your plan serves as a compass, giving you a steady, organized plan for the school year. By following the curriculum plan, students make progress from quarter to quarter. This is why HCCA requires a detailed curriculum plan each year, as well as detailed information on your quarterly report. This is extremely important in high school, no matter what your child’s plans are in the future. If you have questions about your plan or curriculum in general, please contact us.
HCCA REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN Remember to enroll in HCHE membership first. You can access the membership form HERE. Returning families may log into their Parent Portal to register after becoming a member. New families may request an account by clicking HERE.
