Teacher Study Groups

All teachers have Study Group times.
Students should come to at least two study groups per week.
Study Group times are posted at hhs9.lisd.net
Clubs and Activities
Get involved on campus!
Check out the list of activities on the “Activities” Tab At hhs9.lisd.net
Can a student take multiple activities all 4
years? • Examples: Choir/Theatre/Band/Orchestra/Athletics, etc• It would require an enormous about of work outside of
the school day to get all required classes taken and in order to do both. Probably the biggest challenge would be taking their foreign language classes on-line. The amount of time spent doing both activities would be time consuming. There would also be the cost factor involved with both activities and the tuition fees for VLA.
• Our Recommendation: Give both a try during their 9th grade year and see if handling both endeavors makes sense or will one emerge as a stronger passion.
