I have four children that have graduated from Hastings schools and two still in them. My children that graduated from hastings have attended MSU or Olivet after high school. My daughter that is in Hastings High is ttending not only high school but college as well with dreams to work in Environmental GoeScience. Hastings promotes science and math with excellent programs in both.

I have three children enrolled in Hastings School system. One in High School, the other two in Middle School. I did not attend the school personally, but my husband is a Hastings graduate. We live outside the city in the country and are very pleased with the school system. I do not agree with the former statements that your name has anything to do with the way your child is treated. My daughter has a different last name than my two step sons and I have not seen an instance of being treated differently. To those parents who are quick to criticize the discipline in the schoolrooms or lack thereof, I feel this is due to our own society taking away any authority teachers may have in their classroom and kids knowing they can get away with being disrespectful.
I am going into 10th grade at HHS and i am absolutely appauled by this school. The teachers just give you the answers and they don't explain how they got it, even if you ask them. HHS is also just a popularity contest, even with the teachers. if you have the right last name, the teachers love you, but if you have the wrong one, they make it obvious that they dont like you at all. i am considering transfering to thornapple kellogg for my remaining 3 years of highschool. i'm getting really tired of how the Hastings Area School District doesnt care weather the students excell or not.

I am a graduate of HHS and I think that it was a great school. It does not matter what your last name is or how much money you have. When I started attending there my 10th grade year everyone was extremely nice and the teachers were great. Everyone gets excepted in that school and it offers great learning experiences.
