This program is run in partnership with the Regional Foodbank and HACA.

HFCS BackPack Program at a Glance:
495 BackPacks distributed during the ’24-’25 school year
15 students participated in the Backpack Program each week
14 pounds of food per bag each week, containing 11 meals

If you do not choose this, then you will need to schedule your sports physical now as fall sports start in August. If your child does not have an updated physical( 08/2025 forward) by the first practice then they will not be able to participate.

If your child needs to update their concussion test it will be in their email between July-August 2026.

Congratulations to our High School English Teacher, Mrs. Huba, on being presented with the National Honor Society's 2026 Teacher of the Year Award.

NHS students’ speech: This year’s Teacher of the Year is someone known for much more than what happens in the classroom. She is known for advocating for her students, pushing us to be our very best, and—almost always— having a Starbucks in hand.

Her students describe her as someone who never gives up on them and who leads with understanding and compassion. She is funny when things feel stressful, patient when we’re difficult, and somehow even more invested in our futures than we are at times.

As members of the Philip Leonard Chapter of the National Honor Society, we value scholarship, service, leadership, and character—this teacher exemplifies each of these pillars every day. She challenges us academically while supporting us personally, leads by example, serves her students well beyond what is required, and consistently shows integrity and care in everything she does.

It’s one thing to help students complete an assignment; it’s another to support them through college applications, big decisions, and the general chaos of life. She keeps us grounded, shows up for us every day, and reminds us that we are capable of more than we think.

For all of this and more, we are incredibly grateful. This year’s Teacher of the Year award is presented to Mrs. Huba!

🎓Reminder! Class of 2026 Yearbook Dedications are due by Friday, April 3rd. Please complete the forms and return them to Mr. Viera: vierar@hoosickfallscsd.org

Happy first day of April! Here are the lunch menus. 🥕
