The school day at Hastings High School is 7:50 AM to 3:15 PM.
The class schedule at Hastings High School is a traditional six period day with seminar two days a week during the afternoon.
Students attend all six class periods on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 61 minutes of instruction. On Tuesday and Thursday students attend six class periods for 51 minutes each and have a seminar period for 55 minutes.
Seminar period allows students an opportunity to study, do their homework, make up work or tests, or see a teacher for additional help. All students are assigned a seminar and must report to that room for attendance. If a student would like to leave their seminar room to see a teacher or counselor, they may do this by obtaining a pass prior to the start of the seminar period.
Lunch is scheduled during the 4th hour of the day. Students who have 4th hour class on the 1st floor of the building have "A" lunch and students who have 4th hour class on the 2nd floor have "B" lunch. (There are a few exceptions to balance the number of students in each lunch.)
