THS students and staff getting some love from The Daily Telegram.
The Open Heart steel sculpture was months in the making and the red Remembrance Poppies took weeks to make. Both made their public debuts this week during our Veterans Day ceremony.
The Open Heart sculpture is all about love of community.
