The annual "World's Largest" Garage Sale put on by HHIHS is cancelled for the next two years due to construction of the new school. Please do not contact the office. Once construction is finalized, and a new parking lot is built, the intent is to restore the garage sale event. Stay tuned for updates as construction ends.
