Hayden High School Tigers, Families, Friends and Fans,

It’s hard to believe we’re already kicking off the 2025-2026 school year—my third year as principal at Hayden High School! As we dive into a new year, I’m thrilled to continue working with our incredible students as they grow not just in academics, but as kind, driven, and resilient human beings. We have a few new faces in the building, a few fresh coats of paint, and possibly a few confused freshmen wandering the halls on day one—but that’s all part of the magic.

This year, our focus will be on increasing rigor and structure. That might sound like code for “more homework,” but what it really means is we’re raising the bar and helping students rise to meet it—with support every step of the way. Our goal is to create a school culture that’s strong, focused, and inspiring. With your continued support and our students’ endless potential, I truly believe Hayden will continue developing into something special—a place where big things happen in a small town. Let’s make this year the best one yet!

Warmly,

Lanc Sellden

Hayden High School

Principal
