Class of 2031: Seventh Grade Play Festival

On Monday, April 29th the HCCS community came together for the Seventh Grade Play Festival, a celebration of student creativity, collaboration, and months of dedicated work in Theater.

The festival featured a series of original student-written and student-directed plays, developed from script to stage by our 7th grade Theater Company. Students, families, and staff gathered to enjoy an afternoon highlighting the imagination, humor, and storytelling of the Class of 2031.
