The Hershey High School Tri-M Music Honors Society Chapter, #T428, was recently awarded Pennsylvania’s Chapter of the Year by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). With a yearly membership of over 40 HHS students, our chapter has been very active the past few years, most recently beginning initiatives such as hosting community outreach events such as community Winter-themed breakfast, offering student volunteer events at functions such as Harrisburg Symphony concert, and forming performance opportunities for our students at local venues such as Hershey’s Chocolate World and retirement communities.

Our MOU with Hershey Entertainment & Resorts has very generously allowed us to use Hersheypark Stadium for our Hershey High School home football games during the regular season since 2006. As part of the MOU, there is an understanding that with 3 years’ notice, the MOU could be terminated. The district received that notice on July 29, 2024. While we have cherished our time at Hersheypark Stadium, we are thrilled about the exciting opportunities this move brings for our students, parents, staff, and community.

On Monday, June 24th, the DTSD School Board approved revisions to policy 237, Electronic Devices. This update is to help parents, educators, and community members prepare for the coming year. The new version of policy 237 limits the use of personal cellular devices as a part of the district's plans to tackle mental health and bullying issues associated with social media. Additionally, limiting access to cell phones throughout the school day will allow students to be more focused on teacher instruction and their academic endeavors. We believe these changes will create a healthier school environment.
