Night Hawk is a program for all current HMS Students.
- There's no cost to attend! A parent/guardian must complete a Night Hawk Registration. (Spanish Version)
- Super Snacks are available every day during Night Hawk for free.
- We encourage students to attend Night Hawk activities regularly. Students who regularly participate in afterschool activities gain the most benefits.
- Activities are available Monday - Friday, but Late Buses are only available Monday - Thursday.
- Students can create Night Hawk activities for the school year! Contact Ms. Shivers if you have an activity idea.
- Join our Night Hawk Schoology and Talking Points groups to hear regular updates about Night Hawk, vote for activities, or hear about special Night Hawk events. Once students are registered, they will be added to the group.
