Hudson Falls Central School District

With Pride, we are the Hudson Falls Tigers

Talking HF Tigers 10/23

Posted Date: 10/23/26 (03:30 PM)

          

It was an energetic week of classes as the high school celebrated homecoming spirit week that led up to Thursday's Pep Rally and Homecoming Dance. The middle school glowed out at their dance on Thursday and we hope all students enjoyed their Friday off as our faculty and staff underwent some professional development. 


We can’t wait to tackle another busy weekend with district activities that include Trunk or Treat and the Homecoming football game on Saturday.

         
Highlighting Excellence 

            

The Hudson Falls Central School District and the Sandy Hill Chapter of the National Honor Society will hold its twenty-fourth annual Wall of Distinction and National Honor Society induction ceremony on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. in the high school auditorium. Honoring student achievement is a highlight for every educator, and welcoming new NHS and Wall of Distinction members is a testament to student success, both past and present.


The Wall of Distinction’s intent is to establish a tradition that honors highly successful graduates who have gone on to distinguished careers in various fields or who have become role models in the community. The Wall also demonstrates to students and the community the caliber of students produced by the Hudson Falls School District. The Wall of Distinction provides inspiration and motivation for students to excel.


Wall of Distinction inductees for 2026 include:


  • Paul Derby, Class of 1977, Professor

  • Jackie Boggs, Class of 1979, Teacher 

  • Dr. David Judge, Class of 2001, Veterinarian

  • Dr. Jennifer Judge, Class of 1992, Psychologist

  • Dr. Stephen Judge, Class of 1991, Doctor

  • Alex Vishneowski, posthumously, Class of 1952, Teacher
