A Successful 2nd Spotlight on Education Expo
Hortonville Area School District had a great turnout at the Spotlight on Education Expo on Thursday, April 11th. With having had over 70 presenters, the Expo provided a forum for HASD schools, community organizations, and businesses to collaborate as well as showcase the wonderful educational programs and services available in the area.
Gabrielle Laughlin, real estate agent at Coldwell Banker in Greenville, was presenting at the Expo for her second year in a row. She explained, "I really enjoyed taking part in this event because I had the opportunity to see many people in the community that I don't always have the chance to see and reconnect." Read more...

Safety Recommendations Received and Being Reviewed by HASD Safety Committee
Hortonville Area School District (HASD) leaders ensure staff and students feel safe in our schools. To aid this effort, HASD contracted RETA Security to walk through each school building, assess our current security measures, and provide "best practice" safety recommendations. In addition, the consultants provided CRISIS plan recommendations to the safety committee to review and implement in the event of emergencies.
To be proactive, the district leaders made immediate safety improvements in our buildings. Safety-related changes include limiting access to all facilities during school hours, and implementing a hall safety monitor at the high school to ensure that all doors remain locked, and closely verifying every person in the building has permission or reason to be there.

HASD Schools and Extra-curricular Activities
Being fiscally responsible is a priority in the HASD. The various Hortonville Area School District PTO's and Booster Clubs are helpful in this effort as they raise funds to ensure that students and staff have the resources available to help them be successful. Hortonville High School has many booster clubs that help raise money to fund co-curricular activities. Over the years, the Football Booster Club has been able to buy new goal posts for Akin Field, an end zone camera, new headset for coaching staff, provide funding for volunteer coaches, and have given monetary donations towards workout equipment for the fitness center. They also fund fan and team busses for further distance away games, and have sponsored team cookouts and dinners. Read more...
