Heppner Jr/Sr High School administration announced January 7th, 2021 that HJSHS will recognize 60-69% as a letter ‘D’ grade, which will count for Semester 1 credit. Semester 1 ends next Thursday, January 14th, 2021. This exception is due to COVID-19’s effect on our standard learning format and will be reevaluated for semester 2 at a later date. We encourage students to continue to work for grades of ‘C’ or higher as the ‘D’ grade will have a negative impact on their grade point average (GPA) and could affect future scholarship and/or college admission opportunities.
Congratulations to Class of 2021's Madelyn Nichols on her commitment to Eastern Oregon University and it's Track & Field and Cross Country athletic programs. Way to go, Madelyn!

Ag Leadership students spent the morning filling backpacks for families in our community. The backpack program, facilitated by Agricultural Sciences teacher Beth Dickenson, supplies families of school-age children with food supplements for the weekends. Each bag contains food for breakfast, lunch and snacks, including fruits and vegetables, similar to what they would receive through their school day. Peggy Doherty, CARE advocate for our local schools, helps distribute backpacks or they can be picked up at the Ag building each Thursday. If interested in signing up your family to receive a backpack, please contact Mrs. Dickenson or Peggy Doherty at Heppner High.
