Hudson High School (HHS) is a public high school in

Boston Township. Athletic teams are known as the Explorers with school colors of navy blue and white, and compete in the Suburban League
National Division.

Administration

As of 2022, the head principal was Mike Miller.[2]

In March 2005, many of Hudson High School's student body staged a walkout to protest the firing of their principal, Roger Howard.[3]

Facilities

The current building, opened in August 1992, is designed to grow with the community. It was designed by Lesko Architects of

Cleveland, Ohio
. The academic wing of the high school was built to accommodate 1600 students in 104 teaching stations, while the core facilities such as the library, commons, auditorium, hallways, and offices were designed for a student population of 2200 to 2400. The academic wings are expandable at the east and west ends to increase its capacity to 2400 students. An expansion on the west side of the building was completed in time for the 2006-2007 school year.

Education

The school was established in 1885, and the first class of students graduated that year.

Today, a number of special education programs and educational options for gifted students are available. Hudson offers numerous courses at the accelerated level, as well as 22 Advanced Placement (AP) courses. HHS also offers several multi-period enrichment classes that include English and Social Studies curricula, including Networking, Contemporary Issues, Service Learning, and New Dimensions.[4] Advanced Placement courses in World Languages are also available. In addition, HHS has technical offerings including basic computer skills, AP Computer Science, and a web design and programming class.[5] Hudson High School also has a music program that includes five choirs, two orchestras, a marching band, two jazz bands, three concert bands, and a percussion ensemble. The high school also publishes a student newspaper, The Explorer.

The high school is also part of the Six District Educational Compact, a joint program of six area school districts (

Stow-Munroe Falls, Tallmadge and Woodridge) to share access to each of their vocational training facilities and career resources.[6]

Athletics

Hudson High School is a member of the

Stow-Munroe Falls High School.[7]

Hudson Memorial Stadium opened in 2012 and is a privately funded stadium with 6,000 seats located on the high school's current campus, replacing the 3000-seat Lavelli Field at the old high school. It was dedicated by the Murdough Family in honor of all the men and women, including those of Hudson, who have sacrificed their lives in war.[8]
