Welcome to a new school year at Heppner Jr/Sr High School! There is nothing quite like the energy of the first days back, hallways filled with conversation, classrooms buzzing with curiosity, and the excitement of new opportunities ahead. We are thrilled to have our students back in the building, ready to learn, grow, and make this year one to remember.
At Heppner Jr/Sr High School, we are committed to creating an enriching learning experience. One that builds meaningful connections, encourages collaboration, and challenges students not only to achieve academically but also to grow personally and socially.
Our foundation is built on our core values, what we call “Standing for the Brand”:
1. Respect – treating others and ourselves with dignity and understanding.
2. Integrity – doing what is right, even when no one is watching.
3. Discipline – staying focused, persistent, and committed to our goals.
4. Excellence – striving to be our very best in the classroom, on the field, and in the community.
These values are not just words on paper, they are the standards that guide our actions, shape our culture, and prepare our students for success both in school and beyond.
As we begin this school year, I encourage every student to embrace the opportunities before them, lean into challenges, and support one another as we move forward together. I’m excited for what we will accomplish as a school community and proud of the journey we are on.
Let’s make it a great year—Go Mustangs!
