From The Admin Group

Hello All,

We learned about and celebrated the naturalization process on Wednesday. 28 people from 20 different countries became US citizens at HHS during our 6th annual Naturalization Ceremony. Our 11th and 12th graders were lucky enough to attend. Landya Marie Boyer McCafferty, chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire hosted a court session in our auditorium. Our 9th and 10th graders attended a Naturalization panel in the gym. Our students heard about the journey 7 community members took to get naturalized. We were lucky to have people share their journey with our school community. These events reminded us of American ideals we often take for granted. Thank you to all the humans who made these events possible.
