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.
