🎉Hannibal FFA's highly anticipated Greenhouse Sale is quickly approaching, and will take place THIS Saturday April 22nd, from 8am to noon. This event is a great way to support our Ag students while also beautifying your home with high quality plants at reasonable prices! See you there! 🌼❤💐

Hannibal Community, Please be advised: Monday April 17th, beginning at 10 am HHS will be hosting a Mock Traffic Crash for all Juniors and Seniors; you may see a large first responder presence on the HHS campus. The simulation is designed to demonstrate the dangers of driving under the influence and to encourage safe driving practices among our students. During the simulation, emergency responders such as police, fire and ambulance personnel will be present, as well as student actors playing the role of injured or deceased individuals. This is an impactful and emotional experience that we believe can help save lives by illustrating the dangers of reckless driving. Safety protocols will be in place to ensure that all participants are safe throughout the simulation. Please note that this event is for students and staff only, and we kindly ask that parents, guardians and other community members refrain from attending or spectating the event. Thank you in advance for your support in helping to keep our school and our community safe.

Mrs. Poage's 10th grade English classes recently had a brief unit on Greek mythology.
