Last week, 3 of our students did an amazing job representing Hoover by participating in the Student Voice Panel. They voiced their perspectives on topics that affect our school community. They posed for a photo with GUSD's wonderful superintendent, Dr. Darneika Watson.

On Saturday, the HTMB earned 1st Place and High Percussion in Division 2A at the Gahr Invitational! They are currently the highest scoring band in the Division, which means they have earned the last performance slot of the night for this Saturday.

They will be performing at Hoover on November 15 so please come and support!

Let's support our award winning Hoover Tornado Marching Band!

They are partnering with Charleston Wrap to offer high-quality gift wrap, kitchen and home goods, and over 2,500 other products. Proceeds from each purchase helps support the Hoover High School Pep Team. No matter the size of your order, you can make a BIG difference.
