Spotlights

Congrats Mrs. Kuhowski for receiving the Governor's Service Award! Our very own tech guru, Mrs. K received the Governor's Service Award at the Fox Theater. Along with teaching AP Computer Science, Web Design, UAV Drone, and ArcGIS, she keeps our computers running, coaches eSports and Cyber Patriots, TEALS Alumni Instructor, and even shows the HFA staff how to work the new phones. Needless to say she is simply amazing and deserves all the awards that can be bestowed upon her! We're so lucky to have you!
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib visits HFA's Bold Beautiful Girls Club Bold Beautiful Girls Club had a wonderful up close and personal session with Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib . She was very down to earth and transparent as she discussed her experience as congresswoman, her upbringing growing up in Southwest Detroit and the path she took to achieve her success. No question was off limits and the students came with some pretty thought provoking questions. You could tell she enjoyed talking to the girls and we would love to have her again as so many would benefit from hearing her. It was truly an honor to soak up her knowledge and hopefully this opened some new career interest for some of the girls. Thank you to the HFA staff who came and all who helped make today happen and most importantly, thank you to Rashida for visiting HFA!
