HCSS High School

Celebrating Our Student Work Through The Digital Portfolio Showcase!

On Saturday, June 6th, the Science and Social Studies Departments hosted the Digital Portfolio Showcase, where students presented semester-long work and digital artifacts to judges.

Over 160 students were eligible to participate to present their findings. What made this event truly special was that all judges were HCSS High alumni.

We’re so grateful to the 17 alumni who returned to mentor, evaluate, and celebrate our students.

Congratulations to the winners of the Portfolio Showcase!

On June 2nd, the Hampden Charter School of Science community gathered for a momentous occasion: the official commencement ceremony for the Class of 2026. The historic event took place at the prestigious UMass Fine Arts Center, providing a beautiful and grand backdrop for our graduates to take their final steps as HCSS students and their first steps into the future.

The auditorium was filled to capacity with proud families, dedicated faculty, classmates, and friends who gathered to honor the graduating class's incredible achievements, resilience, and dedication. The ceremony featured inspiring speeches from student leaders and administrators, reflecting on the shared memories, late-night study sessions, and personal growth that defined their time at Hampden Charter.

These diplomas represent years of hard work, rigorous academic focus, and a commitment to excellence. We are immensely proud of the Class of 2026 and have no doubt they will continue to achieve great things as they head off to college and future careers. Congratulations, graduates!
