The Saturday night Pantherfest brought together students, faculty, and families to kick off the new school year and football season! The night started off with introductions of the whole football team and our cheerleaders.

The football players showed off their skills and energy during the scrimmage. During the game, the junior varsity cheer team cheered on the Panthers. Fans were kept refreshed with drinks and snacks.

The lemonade stand became a popular spot where ‘The Gulf,’ a blue raspberry flavored lemonade drink, quickly became a fan favorite. Perfectly on brand to represent HHS school colors too.

The school mascot, Paws, got in on the excitement, saying, “The Panthers showed up and showed out at our Pantherfest! [We] cannot wait for the rest of the year! Go Big Red!” The night proved to be more than a scrimmage but a celebration of spirit, pride, and the new year to come!
