Due to mechanical issues, the Hastings Community Education & Recreation Center (CERC) will be closed this evening. This includes the cancellation of the Black and Gold swim meet.
Will we be seeing you at Baum Stadium this season?
We will be hosting local physicians on Tuesday, August 4, at the high school gym and locker room area so students can complete a physical for the 2026–27 athletic season.
Physicals for girls will be held from 6:00 to 7:15 p.m., with boys to follow from 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. This year, we are suggesting a $10 donation per physical to help cover the costs of providing this service. However, please do not let the donation keep you from attending Physical Night. We want to ensure as many of our Saxons as possible are set up for their upcoming seasons!
Physicals are open to incoming 6th graders through incoming seniors and will be valid for the entire 2026–27 athletic year. As a reminder, all of our student-athletes' information must be registered through FinalForms.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the athletic office at 269-945-6164.

A huge congratulations to a Saxon who is accomplishing BIG things. Ky uses our Hastings Virtual Academy to bring her education on the road with her as she zig-zags across the country competing as a young, up-and-coming rodeo star.
At the 34th Annual International Finals Youth Rodeo this past week in Shawnee, Oklahoma, she was crowned champion of Breakaway Roping. Great work! We look forward to seeing what’s next as she represents the Saxons on a national level!

On the eve of graduation, seniors, staff, and supporters filled the HPAC for Senior Honors Night. The Class of 2026 has accomplished so much this year and throughout their time at HHS. It was only fitting to honor them one final time and celebrate their hard work, dedication, and achievements!
Another season of facility upgrades is underway this spring as crews begin remodeling the boys and girls locker rooms at Hastings Middle School!
Our high school students have already been enjoying the newly renovated locker rooms completed last year, and we’re excited to see the transformation at the middle school take shape.
This project is another improvement made possible through the bond generously approved by our district community three years ago. Thank you for continuing to invest in our students and schools!
