Houston High School Principal
JH/HS Principal’s Message
Houston High School parents and students, welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable summer. As we begin a new year filled with opportunity and promise, I want to express how excited we are to have our students back in our hallways, classrooms, and activities.
This year will again bring a continuation of a few initiatives and the introduction of some important changes. This school year will bring the final phase of our 1:1 Chromebook initiative. All students in grades 5-12 will be equipped with a Chromebook that will help enhance their educational experience. This initiative has been successful thus far and I am excited to see how our students and staff will continue to use these devices in the classroom. Second, our district will again provide students with essential school supplies. This will again help students be equipped with items that will prepare them for the school year. Finally, the cell phone policy in the Student Handbook has been updated, and all students in the district will be required to have their cell phone turned off and stored in their locker during the school day. We believe that eliminating cell phone usage during the school day will have a positive impact on student learning, behavior, and well-being. This policy is designed to create a more focused, respectful, and connected school culture.
At Houston High School, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment where every student can thrive. Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, we look forward to working together to help each student reach their full potential—academically, socially, and personally.
Parents and families, your involvement is a vital part of our success. We value your partnership and encourage you to stay connected through communication, events, and opportunities to engage with our school community. The staff directory on our school website contains the email addresses of all staff members. Please reach out to them with questions or concerns. I can always be reached by phone (937-295-3010 Ext. 2001) or email (jjudy@hardinhouston.org) and will be more than happy to help in any way that I can. Finally, please access important information from our school website, Twitter accounts, and the Education Connection system.
Respect, success, and pride – that is the Wildcat Way!
Mr. Judy
