Hall Highlights website revised
Senior Mark DeBonee, Hall Highlights Internet Editor 2002-03, has reconstructed the newspaper’s website. New features include an article submisison form, an online poll, a chance to respond to articles, pictures of staff members, a section for technology review and updated design layout. The website may be viewed at http://www.whps.org/schools/HALL/highlights.

Staircases designated by directions
To alleviate student traffic in the hallways, the school has created a new system for directing students up and down the staircases. Each main stairway is now designated for either going “up” or “down”. However, the hallway traffic will only be alleviated once students make an effort to follow the directions during passing time. The “down” staircases are located at the back of the school and the “up” staircases at either side of the library.
