Please note the tryout information flyers posted around campus and in your classrooms. This information is also posted on the athletics page of the school website. Keep in mind that Student Health Record and Athletic Handbook Agreement forms need to be submitted prior to trying out. These should be turned in to the athletic office or athletic training room. However, you may turn them in to the middle school principal’s office or front office and they will be forwarded to us.  You or your parents may contact me in the athletic office if you have any questions. Thanks, Mr. Oshiro

HBA provides one-way bus transportation for most sports on most “regular-schedule” school days. You and your parents will need to arrange your own transportation home. Thanks, Mr. Oshiro

6.    All Students: Please welcome Mr. Sam Lee to the athletic department staff!
