The Washington, D.C. trip is an annual 8th grade tradition! We have been going every year since 2014. 

In 8th grade, students are taught about our country from the Revolutionary War to the 1920s,

from colony to leader, in their social studies class. What better way to help them see the fruits of those

labors than to immerse them in the capital of our nation. We will tour D.C. from Friday to Saturday.

While in D.C., we plan to visit the monuments, museums, Capitol building, Arlington National Cemetery,

and the White House. This year, our school will also have the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of

the Unknown Soldier. Students will be able to see the things they are learning about in class right

before their eyes. Many of our students may never again have an opportunity such as this to experience

the capital. We see this as a great tradition for our building and a chance for our students to create

lifelong memories.

There will be an informational meeting for parents on Tuesday, October 7 at 5:30 pm in the HMS LGI. This directly precedes Hello Highland: Open House.
