On Friday, March 18th, HHS appeared to be missing the majority of their seniors. The cause of this was Senior Skip Day, a tradition where the seniors in the school all plan ahead of time not to attend school on a certain day.

Mr. Sullivan, an HHS teacher whose classes consist mostly of seniors, said, “More than half of my seniors in every class I had were missing.” This was the case for many senior classes on Friday. As a result, many teachers were forced to change their lesson plan.

If students missed a planned test or other work they were held responsible for making it up. If a student was not called out absent by a parent, teachers had the option to not let them make up what they missed. Mr. Sullivan stated, “I would let my students make it up, however I would not be that pleased about it.”

Many seniors spent their day off in the 60 degree weather. Senior Liz Keefe said, “I slept in late, when I woke up I made breakfast with my friends and then we spent the rest of the day outside enjoying the beautiful day.” Overall, the day seemed to be a success for the seniors because the majority of their class participated; however, students who were not called out absent for the day by their parents or will be receiving consequences.
