ABOUT HHS The current building, opened in August 1992 , is designed to grow with the community. The current student population is just under 2000. 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 wing is expandable at the east and west ends to increase its capacity to 2400 students and currently is being expanded. A full range of special education programs and educational options for gifted students are available to meet the needs of a wide range of students. Hudson High School is a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association and the Western Reserve Athletic Conference, and offers 25 sports and 58 teams in athletic competition. The school colors are navy blue and white. The sports teams are called the Hudson Explorers. Hudson's rivals include Solon. There are four principals at Hudson High School. The head principal is Jay Tyree and under him are the three unit principals, Lynn Villa, Dave Harris, and Eugene Lolli. THE ROGER HOWARD INCIDENT On March 8 , 2005 , the students of Hudson High School held a walkout in protest of the Hudson City School District's Board of Education decision to not renew the contract of the head principal Roger Howard, whom many of the students and teachers respected. The Hudson Police claimed the initially peaceful protest was out of hand when they justified their use of force against the students. Two students were arrested, and several were Pepper-sprayed . The Hudson Police also called assistance from six neighboring police departments as well as the Summit County, Ohio Special Response/SWAT Team. Some students subsequently joined forces with parents, teachers, and other community members to create two political groups fighting the Board of Education. In the following election of November 2005 , three new board members, Douglas Whipple, Nancy Terry, and Karen Capone-Sheer defeated incumbents Andrew Duff, James Antes, and James Hackney. The Current Board of Education consists of President Bruce Hubach, Stephen Funk, Nancy Terry, Karen Capone-Sheer, and Douglas Whipple. EXTERNAL LINKS
