We wanted to highlight a few of our recent Hesperia Adult School graduates and congratulate them on their achievements.
Ximena "Darlene" Nares is a Hesperia Adult School graduate. As a result of her success, Darlene was recommended and approved as an HUSD volunteer for both Hesperia Adult School and Canyon Ridge High School.
Michael Moreno is a parent with children in HUSD. He earned his diploma and is now applying for employment that he previously was not eligible to apply for without a diploma. Michael said earning his diploma has been life-changing.
Aurora "Salem" Weatherson's career goal is to become a Drama and English teacher. Salem met with the Adult Education Victor Valley College Transition Counselor this week to begin college classes in the fall.
Congratulations to all of our graduates and best of luck in their future endeavors.
Congratulations to Topaz's Vex Robotics team made up of students Timothy Scearce and Luke Walters on winning the Judge's Award at the State Vex Championship this year. They are coached by Patrick Nicholson, Jessica Clausnitzer, and Chris Montes. Timothy and Luke, along with the help of students Matthew Montes and Jason Walters noticed that a competing team had one of their brains die, putting them out of the competition halfway through the day. These students saw what was happening and approached Mr. Nicholson and asked him if they could lend a "spare brain" to this team so they could stay in the competition. They did, and the competing team was able to stay in the competition. Congratulations on the award and a great job showing sportsmanship. We are proud that kids like this represent HUSD.

We are aware of the snow in Hesperia and the surrounding areas. Students are safely in class, all schools are currently open and will continue under their normal bell schedules; however, we are working to help keep students indoors as much as possible. The weather service predictions are that the snow will clear at midday. We will continue to monitor the situation and road conditions and respond accordingly. If any changes are made we will communicate those changes to the community. In the absence of any further announcements, schools will remain open and dismiss at their normal times. We ask parents to plan for extra time when picking students up and to be as patient as possible as we all deal with the winter weather.
