Teaching: We are putting together our classes for the Fall. Thank you to all who are teaching. We are off to a great start! To make it the best fall semester ever, we still need teachers to fill some gaps. Recently a survey was sent out to see what classes families were interested in seeing. If you would like to teach please reach out to classdirector@hche.org.

If you are returning to teach the same class in the fall, you may keep your Emergency Lesson Plan in the pink bins over the summer. If you are not returning, please pick up your lesson plans this week.

Interested in Volunteering in the Fall? If you would like to be part of our “army of volunteers” during the Fall 2025 semester, we will be scheduling interviews. You can still submit your application over the summer break. This includes Vital Partners and youth volunteers. It is our desire to help all who want to serve to be able to do so. Please contact Jamie at humanresources@hche.org if you have any questions.
