National Library Week is sponsored by the American Library Association and was first celebrated in 1958 as a time to celebrate our nation’s libraries, library workers’ contributions and to promote library use and support. The theme for this year’s National Library Week, which is being celebrated between April 23rd and April 29th, is “There’s More to the Story.”

Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats. But there's so much more to the story.

The HHS Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Mr. Jeremy Dodge, performed at the State Massachusetts Association for Jazz Education (MAJE) Festival on Saturday, March 25, at Norwood High School. The Jazz Ensemble was awarded a Gold Award at the 2023 MAJE Central District Festival on March 1st, earning the opportunity to perform at the State Festival. The group earned a Gold Award this past weekend for their performances. Individual awards for Outstanding Musicians went to Ryan Hwang (drums), Abigail Baskin (piano), and JJ Bahri (trombone).

March 31 - April 2, Hopkinton High School is one of six host sites for the Massachusetts Instrumental & Choral Conductors Association (MICCA) 2023 Concert Festival.
