A special THANK YOU to all Hiawatha USD 415 teachers. This school year has been weird to say the least. But we’re getting through it, thanks to our Teachers. This year where instruction could be virtual, in-person or a mix of both, their immense work and impact have provided a much-needed sense of community connection. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, our teachers have worked hard to ensure every student had the tools they needed to reach their full potential.

The Brown County Association of Retired Educators recently partnered with our Horticulture class to plant this tree at the high school.

Saturday May 1st was National School Principal's day. We could not let our principals go unnoticed. With all the chaos of the last two years our principals have overcome and conquered. Thank you for all you do for the staff and students of Hiawatha USD 415!

Hiawatha High School is pleased to present this year's musical production of Grease: School Edition. The students have been working incredibly hard on this show and we are excited to showcase the wonderful talent we have. The show will take place on May 7th and 8th at 6 PM at the Courthouse steps on the south side. You will need to bring your own lawn chairs or have blankets to sit on the ground. It is recommended that you maintain sufficient spacing while watching the show. There is no ticket fee, but will have a free-will donation box and all proceeds will go to the HHS theater department. The school edition of Grease removes all references to drugs and alcohol so you can be sure to bring the whole family. We ask that there is no video recording during the production. This year has been a challenging one and this musical has been no different. With all the sports, activities, schoolwork, and all the other things going on, these students have risen to the challenge and we truly have a special show for you. We hope to see you join us for a wonderful evening.
