Prayer Connect

Our Prayer Care Team is here to pray with and encourage families through every season of their lives. Join us virtually every Wednesday at 1:00 pm as we pray for our students, staff, leadership, and community. Contact Jean Schmidt at j.schmidt@hihcm.org for an invite.
 

Volunteering

We deeply value parent involvement and believe our school community is strongest when families are actively engaged. That’s why we offer a wide range of opportunities for parents to serve in ways that align with their interests and gifts—whether as a room parent, helping with special events, supporting fundraising efforts, or contributing in other meaningful ways.
