Principal's Message

All of us at Hall-Dale High School share a common goal and that is that each student has a successful and rewarding experience at HDHS. You, as a student, can assist us in achieving that goal by practicing two key concepts each and every day in your school: respect and responsibility.

We all need to work together collaboratively to create an environment that is conducive to learning and personal growth. respect for self and others is an essential component of that positive environment. Teasing, name-calling, harassing, fighting, and intolerance are destructive elements that run counter to goal. No one should feel uncomfortable, coming to school because they are being subjected to these negative behaviors. Treat others - students and faculty alike - the way you wish to be treated.

Take responsibility for your learning. School is hard work. But you can facilitate your learning by practicing responsible behaviors daily: come to each class prepared with the materials necessary for that day; complete homework assignments when due; put in the time and effort studying for tests and quizzes that is needed to get a grade representative of your ability; be attentive in each class; be an active participant in each class; attend school regularly; and seek extra help when needed. The old adage, "You get out of it what you put into it," certainly applies to your education. Be responsible.

Not every student can be an A student. But every student can benefit from the education that is provided to you at Hall-Dale High School if you treat yourself and others with respect, and you take responsibility for your learning. Best wishes for a great school year!

Hall-Dale's Mission Statement

Our first and most important mission as a school is to remember we are dealing with human beings. Human beings filled with dreams and imagination are the raw material of every school, thus making the purpose of every good school obvious: to promote ways in which dreams come true and imagination becomes reality. Hall-Dale recognizes this purpose not as an ideal but rather as a living working reality that constantly demands our attention.

Whether our students realize their dreams through technical education, writing, human development or art makes little difference, but that all our students are encouraged to pursue their dreams makes all the difference in our school, our community, and ultimately in our world.

This pursuit of individual potential requires the students, parents, and community as well as the school be actively involved in the student's own education. Their dreams can be best realized when the students are encouraged to come to class prepared, supported in their choice to take challenging courses, urged to involve themselves in the life of the school, and expected to conduct themselves as responsible citizens of the educational community. If each faction understands and accepts his or her responsibility, then all dreams become attainable and all potential becomes reality.
