The students aren’t the only ones being celebrated, however. HCP celebrated its tenth anniversary and National Blue Ribbon status with former teachers, administrators and students. Richard Caram, first principal and co-founder of HCP, spoke, along with State Superintendent Janet Baressi, former teacher Dr. Stephen Prilliman, former teacher and administrator Emily Steele, 2007 Salutatorian Peter Wright, and current teachers Sally Ziebell and Conde Currat. The night also included music performed by the HCP women’s choir, Allegra Knight, and a woodwind quartet with Elise Widmer, Claire Widmer, Knight and Mitchel Williams. Seniors Jorja Rose and Rachel Wood inspired the audience with recitations by Taylor Mali.
