 5th hour: 12:00 – 12:30
 Before or after school
Current HHS Students will meet one on one with their counselor during
course advisement during February.
 During Advisement times, students will need to bring their completed and
signed course selection form.
 We suggest that students create a list of questions to bring to their advisement
time. Questions may include college requirements, repeating a class for a grade
change, questions on course selection and NCAA requirements, etc.
Unfortunately, other appointments at this time are not available.
 Therefore, student attendance is important during the course selection
process.
