This week and next are basketball play-off weeks for our HPS teams. On March 2, HPS Middle School Girls champs, the Jayhawks fell – by 1 point– to Achievement First. The room was filled with super-high energy with fans and cheerleaders cheering loudly, our mascot dancing up a storm, while our players, with grit and grace, left it all on the floor of the HMTCA gymnasium.
