Principal's Welcome

Welcome Huguenot High School Family, 

I am humbled to be interim Principal of Huguenot High School for the 2023-2024 school year. We at Huguenot High School are committed to student success, student support, and building the best possible learning environment for our scholars. 

Huguenot High School has a proud tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts.  We are approaching this school year focusing on literacy, attendance, social/emotional support for students, improving our SOL scores (Science/English/Gap Groups), and making sure that our students feel safe, supported, and loved every day when they come to school.  

To maximize our capacity as a staff in support of these focus points, we are establishing the following systems, practices, and procedures: 

• HTSS (Huguenot Tiered Systems of Support): Identifying, mapping, and defining all of the wonderful supports and interventions our teachers and staff utilize in support of students and creating a system to more effectively and efficiently match student needs with the appropriate level of support. 

• Teacher Steering Committees:  Empowering teachers to have agency in the ways in the culture, climate, operations, and instruction. The four committees are Innovation and Instruction; Inclusion and Engagement; Safety and Supports; and Sunshine and Climate.

• Expand Social Emotional Support for Students:  Expanding the number of support personnel and partnerships we have available to our students through partnerships. 

• Establishing and Consistently Upholding High Expectations. We are making sure that every student is on time and where they need to be at Huguenot High School.  We have support in place to help our students learn our expectations of being Safe, Respectful, Responsible, and Kind at Huguenot.  As a staff, we continue to grow and hold ourselves accountable for providing a quality education in a safe and nurturing environment. We will celebrate our students and their success!

• Community Outreach.  We want to make sure that ALL of our parents feel welcomed into our inclusive school community by communicating effectively.  We are expanding opportunities for parents to attend PTSA meetings, ACE’ parent meetings for families who are English Learners, and establishing partnerships for success with our Huguenot families.  

If you haven’t done so already, please sign up for REMIND messages to keep up to date with our school activities and updates.  We look forward to a great 2023-2024 and are excited to work in partnership with you.  

Go Falcons!
