Faculty is committed to providing a high-quality program of rigorous academics and diverse co-curricular opportunities. Our teachers have a passion for excellence and their example has an impact on the lives of HCS students and families. All HCS faculty and staff are involved in professional development as ongoing support of academic excellence.
Math: Throughout the year, students grow in understanding of counting by 2’s, 5’s, 10s as well as build upon their knowledge on word problems that deal with adding and subtracting.

Students also learn how to grow plants and how the weather affects seasonal changes. Students also explore facts and details of the ocean, insects and how magnets work.
