On Saturday March 31st, a group of HT students and teachers attended the Youth In Government Day sponsored by the Paul Simon Institute of Southern Illinois University.  The students were treated to a day of young speakers currently serving in the public sector as elected officials or as aides and press secretaries.  The talks were held in the chambers of the Illinois legislature, so students were able to actually sit in the seats of the state legislators.

Many thanks to the Merit School of Music and HT Music Department Director Jessica Jagielnik for the exciting opportunity for students to visit the Chicago Lyric Opera! A group of students toured the Opera building, explored backstage, tried on costumes, and even had the chance to meet celebrated opera singer, Renee Fleming.

Congratulations to our Students of the Month for April! Each month, the National Honors Society members ask HT faculty to nominate students who have performed well academically and shown strength in character. Once they receive the nominations, NHS members put it to a vote to see which student from each class should receive the honors.

Marquita Cross '12 has been selected as a top 3 Finalist for an All State Insurance scholarship competition for her essay on teen driving. Marquita's essay argued for stricter driving laws that would increase the legal age for driving and regulate teen driving to save lives. The essay was published in our own HT newspaper and could award her over $2000 if she wins. Good luck, Marquita!
