Hempfield School District

For the second consecutive year, the Hempfield School District Music Department will host the nine-time Drum Corps International (DCI) World Champion drum and bugle corps, The Cadets, on Wednesday, August 4 and Thursday, August 5.  This year, as a special outreach program for the entire community, The Cadets will perform a complete run-through of their 2010 field show entitled “Toy Souldier” on Wednesday evening August 4th at 8:00 p.m. in the Hempfield School District stadium off Mumma Drive in Landisville.  This performance is free of charge and open to the entire community.  In addition to this special performance, The Cadets will hold open rehearsals throughout each day of their residency at Hempfield as they prepare for nearby DCI regional competitions and the DCI national championship to be held in mid-August in Indianapolis.

The Hempfield Educational Foundation held its 8th Annual Golf Tournament at Four Seasons Golf Course on Monday, June 21. Final numbers are not yet available for the fundraiser, but Foundation board members and golf chairperson, Rao Sankarmanchi, are optimistic that this year’s benefit was a record breaker! Sponsorships from local businesses and contributions from the faculties at many of the Hempfield schools supported the efforts of 120 golfers.  Businesses and individuals contributed raffle and door prizes for the day which were distributed at the celebration dinner in the evening after the tournament was over. The Hempfield Educational Foundation would like to thank all of those that made the tournament so successful. The funds raised at the tournament go directly back to the Hempfield schools through special event and mini grants. A small portion of the funds go to the Mark Groner Memorial Scholarship as well. Mark your calendar for the 2011 Tournament on Monday, June 20, 2011!

The end of the 2009-10 school year was filled with awards assemblies, class picnics, and graduation ceremonies.  Congratulations and good luck to the 580 seniors who graduated from Hempfield High School this year.  Hempfield would also like to wish its students and staff a wonderful summer, and we look forward to seeing you again in August!  Be sure to check out each building’s homepage to view more pictures of their end of the year ceremonies.
