Each week, the HBHS Football team will select a "Teacher of the Week." This is to recognize teachers that make a difference in the lives of our students. Taylor Hall, a math teacher at HBHS, was selected by the team. What some of the players had to say about Mr. Hall. "He really cares about his students in the classroom and cares about the extracurricular activities that you do outside of the classroom" "He was always interacting with his students in ways besides teaching. He was more of a friend than a teacher" Picture of Drue McClendon presenting Mr. Hall with a Har-Ber helmet. Congratulations Mr. Hall!!!!
