Consent forms for the Orientation at Auburn Drive must be received in order for you to attend. Lunch is being provided before you leave Auburn.

Boat Cruise consent forms and $45 payment are due by Monday, June 3rd. We will assess at that time if we have room to accommodate guests.

A reminder message and request to staff and students.  Our caretaker has been finding rocks in the doors of the building throughout the day.  Please, DO NOT put rocks in the doors to keep them open as it is a security risk. HRCE schools need to be secure buildings to ensure everyone’s safety. Again, please do not put rocks in the doors to prop them open.
