Stay Informed!
Keep current with the latest updates from Principal Coogan and our HMS community.
Grit 'n Wit is a company that creates custom events like camp team building activities to challenge people physically and mentally. Grit ‘N Wit events foster teamwork, a growth mindset, and perseverance, so students are better prepared to take the world head-on. Our intent is to help students mentally prepare for SBAC 2024 where they will persevere to demonstrate all they learned on the state assessments.
The dates for Grit and Wit have changed due to weather concerns. Grade 8 will meet on April 25th and Grade 7 will meet on May 3rd.
