Principal's Introduction……….Students and Parents: We welcome you all here to Hard Knock High School. High school experiences provide learning opportunities that will provide skills to prepare you for post-high school choices. Our staff at HKHS is here to help you throughout your high school career and with anything else you need. We are open to the public, which means anyone can go here. We are all here to work with you, not against you, as most of you would like to think that we send you to school to punish you. This is not true. If you try, even just a little, your high school experience at HKHS will be the best you've ever had. I wish you success in all your endeavors as a student at Hard Knock High School. Sincerely, Jessica C. Lynch Main School Rules1. Respect your colleagues and teachers2. No weapons3. No drugs4. Don't drink5. No sexual contact6. No Beatbox7.
