Principal’s Bison Bulletin for May 12

Good evening!  This is Principal Hettenbach from High Point Central High School with a message from the Boulevard.

Our countdown is on. 158 days down. While we have begun assessing students in the areas of AP and IB, we have only 15 days left until underclass local and state exams during the last 7 days. Learning Hubs are offered Tuesday and Thursday from 4:15 until 6 each week. Please help us with making sure your student is on time and ready to work each and every one of these remaining days.

Do you have any prom dresses you would like to donate to our school to assist some of our young females for the prom? If so, please bring them to the school.

Thank you for all your donations to date!

Seniors and early grads – if you haven’t ordered your cap and gown, you must do so immediately. It typically takes 30 days to be delivered, and you would still have to pick it up at Herff Jones office. On Monday, we will be exactly one month away from Graduation day.

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!

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

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!
