For months, these dedicated learners have worked tirelessly, providing daily care and preparation for their livestock projects. Their commitment paid off as they competed at the state show held at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry, GA.
This weeklong event featured more than 2,000 youth exhibitors from across Georgia showcasing over 3,000 head of cattle, swine, sheep, and goats. What an incredible experience!
👏 Congratulations to our HES winners:
✨ Heidi Griffin
• Champion 5th Grade Breeding Ewe Showman
• Third Overall Georgia Born & Bred Breeding Ewe
✨ Gannon Lord
• 7th Place – Market Barrow Class
We are incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and perseverance. A special thank you to our HES staff for your continued support and encouragement of our students as they pursue excellence both inside and outside the classroom.
Way to represent, HES! 💙💛

Students who earned their 2nd‑9‑weeks points for the Literacy Choice Board attended the Sphero Snow-Sprint Showdown! Teams built sleds, coded Spheros to follow a path and collect all the items needed to build a snowman, then constructed their snowmen and enjoyed hot chocolate as a sweet celebration. Great work to our readers, coders, and builders — proud of your creativity and teamwork! ☕⛄👏
