Eclipse Ambassador Program
Stat Geek in Natick
Grade 11 enjoyed a production by the Newburyport Firehouse Center for the Arts hosted by the Wellness Department at HHS on October 3, 2023.
“Stat Geek in Natick”, was a true and powerful story which focused on the journey of an individual who dealt with disordered eating.
It encouraged students to live a balanced, healthy lifestyle and to seek help from appropriate sources when in need.
Counselors were available following the performance.

Message to families who drop off/pick up students by car
Hello Families,
We are writing to communicate information about the drop off and pick up procedures at Haverhill High School for the 2023-2024 school year. We will begin the year keeping the same drop off/pick up procedures as last year. This means families will continue to drop off and pick up their students around the back side of the building and students can enter the building under the green awning. This pick up and drop off procedure will be changing once the construction of the pickleball courts begins. The start date is yet to be determined but we will be sending out notice of any changes as soon as we become aware. Reminder, during pick up and drop off times, parents can not use the circular drive in the front of the building by the flagpole near the main office. We will be having bus numbers 7, 12, 15, 21 pick up students here at the end of the day.
Parents also should not be dropping off or picking up students along Monument St, this is a huge safety issue.
Please follow map for drop off/pick up information:
Drop Off/Pick Up Procedures
For the safety of our students/staff, please follow these directions.
Drop Offs
Please enter the main entrance on Monument Street, go around the pool building and pull into the student Lot C to drop off your student. Please do not use the D or E lots! Students and staff park there.
No waiting for pick up in the Main Entrance loop, this is restricted to buses and emergency vehicles only!
Pick ups
As with drops offs, please go around the pool building to the student Drop Off/Pick Up location.
Please stay with your car so your student can find you in a timely manner.
During drop off/pick ups the Brooks St. gate will be open.
Bus information:
If students have not done so yet, please have them pick up their bus passes in their AP offices:
12th – C Wing; 11th – F Wing; 10th – S Wing; 09th – M Wing
HHS – AM Bus routes/numbers
HHS – PM Bus routes/numbers
Locker update:
