Off-Season Conditioning Workouts

The HGCS Athletic Department is offering off-season conditioning workouts for ALL athletes grades 6th-12th not involved in a winter/spring sport.

Coach Pondo has coordinated and led these workouts for the last ten years and is BFS certified. Workouts will start January 3, 2017, Monday through Thursday each week in the field house after school until 5:00p.m. The program he follows is the nationally recognized “Bigger, Faster, Stronger (BFS)” program. This program is used by most high schools and small colleges/universities in the country. It is a great program for ALL athletes in all sports. Athletes must have a current physical on file with Athletic Trainer in order to participate.

The off-season is the time for you to improve as an individual. It is our hope that ALL will take advantage of this program. This program is free of charge, convenient, and it WORKS!

Please contact Coach Pondo with any concerns or questions. Also, please see the attached information regarding instructions.

8th grade Mission project:

We are all so excited to be finishing up our first semester.  Your students have been working hard and have already learned so much.  To end our semester  the 8th grade team wanted to take the opportunity of the full day of school on Tuesday December 20, 2016, to serve some of the elderly members of our church. We will be going Christmas Caroling at the homes of some of these church members and delivering a little Christmas treat.  We will be leaving school at 8:30 after specials, we will board two buses and each bus will make 3-4 stops to sing and deliver a small package.  The Seniors we visit love to see the students and love our Christmas music.  

After we have visited each home we will be going to Cici’s for lunch. Each student should bring $6 for their all you can eat lunch, please send exact change we will need to collect it before we enter Cici’s.

We will return to school in time for carline at 2:30.

We are looking forward to this day of service and fun.  

We hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas

The 8th Grade Team
