Welcome to Ms. Staivisky's classes this year!! As a person who has walked the halls of HHS, as not only a teacher but also a student, I take great pride in being a part of the students' education. The courses I teach offer a mixture of challenges and rewards. I am also the director for the annual Musical and semi-annual Junior-Senior Class Play. Information about these events can be located on the Activites/Drama section of this website. Aside from information about performances on the HHS stage, you will also find information concerning our trip to NYC to see a broadway show and participate in a broadway class. Contact me at the above email address or via voice mail - 584-5111 any time.

Aside from a rewarding teaching schedule, I also serve as a data/literacy coach available to assist teachers in grades 7-12 in utilizing reading strategies and composing cross curricular open-ended responses in preparation for the PSSA Reading Exam. My duties also include administering, grading, and analyzing the data results from the the 4Sight exam given 4 times a year.
I look forward to yet another wonderful and rewarding school year! I encourage student participation and creativity. If at any time a student wishes to seek out extra help, tutoring time can be made available by appointment. My classroom is A-7.
