At Hastings Area School System, we are deeply grateful for the heroes who have served and those who continue to serve. Thank you.
Third through fifth grade Wax Museum was a huge success today! The students did an amazing job bringing historical and famous figures to life with their costumes, speeches, and creativity. It was incredible to see all the hard work and research that went into each presentation. We’re so proud of our young historians!
At Hastings Southeastern Elementary, 36 students had the opportunity to connect with a dedicated mentor throughout the school year. With the year coming to a close, we hosted a special assembly today to recognize and celebrate these mentors for their unwavering support and commitment to their students.
Our awesome fifth graders just took home their own copies of the annual “My Future Me” book, hot off the press from J-Ad Graphics.
This special keepsake is packed with letters from students in schools across the county, written to their future selves. Inside holds big dreams, bold advice, and some heartwarming and hilarious predictions.

Our district is excited to launch a mobile app designed to keep students, parents, and community members informed and connected right from their phones. Since most families rely on mobile devices as their primary source of communication, we partnered with a developer to create a custom app just for Hastings.
With the Hastings Area School System app, you can read the latest announcements, access staff contact information, view upcoming events and find important documents and resources.
The app is free to download and available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
It’s everything HASS...in your pocket.
