Our 9th-11th grade All A students were rewarded last week for their academic success with a day at Craig's Cruisers in Grand Rapids.
Students enjoyed the zipline ride, raced one another in go-karts, played mini-golf, and ate at the unlimited buffet. Nearly thirty students were invited to attend the trip this year!
Congratulations to these students who put in the work needed to achieve All A's!

National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day!
Thank you to all of our dedicated, Professional School Bus Drivers. This team is up before the sun and often out, way past sunset. Without our Bus Drivers we wouldn't have a vital service that much of our community depends on.
Make sure that if you see a bus driver... tell them thank you!

ATTENTION HS Families!
Jostens has just informed us that 2025-2026 Hesperia High School Yearbooks should be ordered BEFORE the end of the month, Thursday, April 30th, to guarantee your order. Again, if you do not order before April 30th, there is no guarantee that we will have additional books in stock. This is because the printing facility will soon begin production, and will only print a specific number of books based on current ordering trends.
If you would like to order a 2025-2026 Yearbook, please do so ASAP. Books are $60, and payment plans are available.
