HHS Presents "Rachel's Challenge"

Hanford High School will host Rachel’s Challenge on October 18.

During the school day, students will attend an assembly where they will hear the incredible story of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School tragedy. Rachel left behind an amazing legacy and a simple challenge to anyone who will accept it – treat others with kindness and compassion and you just may change the world you live in.

After the student assemblies, HHS student leaders will receive special, in-depth training to better understand how they can make a difference in their school and community.

As a wrap-up of the day’s events, parents and community members are invited to attend a similar presentation at 7 p.m. at the Stratton L. Tarvin Presentation Center to hear Rachel's story and learn how they can help create a positive school and community environment.

The student leaders at Hanford high School are excited to bring this event to Hanford and we hope that this opportunity may “start a chain reaction” of kindness and compassion in our community.

HHS Drama Club presents "Taming the Wild Wild, West in a Dress"

The Hanford High School Drama Club will present Taming the Wild, Wild West in a Dress October  7 through 9 at the Stratton L. Tarvin Presentation Center. Show time is 7 p.m. and tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students.

This show is a Western comedy about a young actor, Clarence, and his acting troupe on a journey to Nevada. Clarence makes the trek to inherit a saloon left to him by his late Aunt Iva Fortune (get it? Iva Fortune?).  He soon comes to realize that it’s not a saloon, but a ladies’ salon he has inherited! Unfortunately, men could not manage salons in those frontier days so Clarence and his talented group of friends must devise a plan. Come and see how these men manage to pull off the deception in dresses! We hope to see many of you there in the audience to support our great theatre program.

The HHS Drama Club will also attend the Drama Teachers Association of Southern California Festival Competition in Central Los Angeles October 30. Seven drama students will be competing at Central Los Angeles High School in both performance and technical categories.
