Principal’s Bison Bulletin for Tuesday, September 3

Good evening!  This is Principal Hettenbach from High Point Central High School with a message from the Boulevard. Happy Labor Day weekend Bison Nation! Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday of September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. Please enjoy the rest of your long weekend!

I hope you have heard the amazing news! High Point Central was named the prestigious Hubert Humphrey Most Improved School at the state of the county banquet. This is a testament to the passion and perseverance of our amazing staff, the students that work hard, use resources in front of them and set high goals. The parents and guardians who advocate for their student while also supporting the school, and of course our powerful alumni and community members! If you have not seen the news segment, simply go to google and type in High Point Central Hubert Humphrey award. WFMY did a great job!

We have had an amazing first week of school. All grade levels met with administration and support staff to review school wide expectations along with understanding the overwhelming amount of support that we can offer them as they navigate through this school year.

Thank you to everyone for being patient with our counselors as they navigated through this past week with scheduling new students, correcting any issues while also addressing schedule requests.

As we continue to navigate through the year, please make sure you are following our athletics clear bag policy.

As a reminder, if you are new to our school, we send an all call message in English every Sunday during the school year at 6:30, followed by Spanish at 7:00. If you do not want to listen to one of the two messages, a simple hang up will be sufficient. These messages will also be sent to your cell phone as a text link as well as to your e-mail address you may have on file. If you do not receive these messages on those platforms but wish to do so, please let us know.

Sign Up Today for Free High-Speed Internet for 2+ years  

The Technology and Data Institute (TDI) in partnership with Guilford County Schools (GCS) and Lumos is offering a FREE pilot service for the next 2+ years to connect eligible students to digital classroom tools while at home, riding the school bus, and within the community. Eligible students must attend one of four schools – Fairview Elementary, Penn-Griffin School for the Arts, Ferndale Middle School, or High Point Central – and reside in a neighborhood served by Lumos Fiber. The pilot program will provide free service through June 2026 and then will seek to secure federal or state funding to continue the program beyond that date.

As we have all learned, having internet access to classroom tools (now) and job opportunities and health services (lifelong) are fundamental to success in today’s classroom and society.

This program is truly as good as it sounds with NO added costs or strings attached. You will be contacted shortly by school officials to describe program benefits, including:

Flexible, no-cost access to high-speed home internet through June 2026.Automatic connection for your student’s Chromebook or iPad via a wireless service called “eduroam.”Roaming access to modern learning tools at school, home, on selected school buses and community sites throughout Guilford County, and at thousands more locations nationwide!

Sign up today!

Lumos, the internet service provider, will work with you to schedule service installation in your home, free of charge, and without commitment.

You must sign up for the free service at lumosfiber.com/TDIGuilford or call Lumos at 844-403-8182.
