On Friday, March 1, 2025, a contingent of HHCA students competed in SCISA's annual Literary Meet.

Twelve students, representing Middle School and Upper School (7th-12th grade), competed in several events, including Oral Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking, Essay, and more. Five students received awards for their outstanding work. Congratulations Eagles on a great day! 

A special thanks goes to HHCA Mentors Kim Hardin and Jessica Tatro for helping students prepare for the competition. 

The students had a great time! Everyone had such a positive experience and outlook, regardless of placing or not. We took students to compete in every US and MS category, and we competed against 15 other SCISA schools.
