Good evening! This is Principal Hettenbach from High Point Central High School with a message from the Boulevard.
This past week, we distributed report cards at our first Gathering of the Herd evening event. I am sure those who attended can attest to the many resources available along with the opportunities to engage with your student’s teachers. Report Cards have also been sent home electronically this past week. If you did not receive them, please let us know.
Seniors and early graduates, it’s time to start preparing for your big day, Graduation! We had Herff Jones company at HPC this past Friday and reviewed ALL Graduation ordering expectations along with the first edition of the graduation timeline. As each deadline passes, the costs for Herff Jones for the Cap and Gown increases. Take advantage of the earliest deadlines possible. This coming Friday is the first opportunity to pay the deposit. Mandatory activities listed on the Graduation timeline must be attended or could lead a graduate to being removed from the graduation event. Start talking to your employers now to make sure you are off from any other obligations. See Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Stafford in the Main Office or Mrs. Nwabueze if you have questions about graduation.

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!

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!
