While you are there, consider buying one or more tickets for staff members too! You can also help by becoming a sponsor. Sponsorships start at $250 and come with tickets to the Bash. Thank you to those who have already purchased sponsorships!
And most importantly–spread the word! Share our Facebook event and invite your friends. Why support Bulldog Bash? Your support helps the PTO support many initiatives at Heights High School that are not funded by the district. Follow our PTO Facebook page over the next few days and weeks and you will see some of them featured. But more than anything, it is an opportunity for parents, staff, alumni, and community members to come together and celebrate the Heights High School community.

| Did you miss the senior parents social at Crust? Here’s all the FAQs you need to know! Class of 2024 graduation will be Sunday, June 9, 2024 at 12pm (barring any changes from the district!). Mr. Montanez will share more details as they are received.
From the College Center: FAFSA INFORMATION!! Do not submit a paper FAFSA form. Submitting a paper form is not recommended by colleges. It will make the process even more difficult. We receive updates from colleges daily that ask us to make sure students are only submitting online. I know there is so much information going around, so it’s confusing. This FAFSA issue has been the biggest headache. But we are not giving up and guarantee that ALL students eligible for the FAFSA will get it submitted. Also, the Texas priority deadline was moved to April 15th. We have ways to help students that have glitch issues. Since spring break, there have been many updates to all the problems. Please remind the students and parents to check with the College Center if they need help. Heights is planning one more evening workshop before 4/15.
Check the HHS College Center site often! Updates include scholarships, college fly-in programs, university virtual information, application steps, and more!
Check out the Scholarship Opportunities 23-24
Follow the HHS College Center site for Class of 2024
Follow the HHS College Center Instagram
The College Center wall is open! Tell your senior to swing by the College Center and sign it when they know their plans for next year–college, military, or career plans! |
