HHS Senior Class is currently raising money for their Senior trip and Senior expenses. They would like to say thank you to the new business on the square Canvas and Cedar, owner Aaron Hudnall and The VFW Post 10351 for their generous donations, as well as their support for our class! We have also received donations from Lost Frontier Toledo Bend Resort, CL&M Package Store and Fisherman's Galley. We hope all of our sponsors know how much their support means to our seniors. We sincerely appreciate you all.

Jordan Cox of Hemphill, Texas, caught this 12.07-pound bass on March 5, 2025, and weighed it in at Buckeye Landing Marina on Toledo Bend Lake. Jordan will receive a fiberglass replica from The Toledo Bend Lake Association for allowing us to weigh, measure, tag, and return this fish to the Lake alive. Congratulations on your catch! This is Lunker number 32 for the June 2024-25 year. #toledobend #lunker #catchandrelease #conservation
