HHS is recognized by the Office for Education Policy for High Growth in Math and Beating the Odds in Math in the Southeast Region of Arkansas! The High Growth in Math award reflects how much students at the school improved from 2023 compared to how much other students with similar prior achievements improved. The Beating the Odds in Math is an award because students demonstrated high growth on the ATLAS exams even though the school serves a high percentage of students who participate in Free and Reduced Lunch.
