A Message from Principal Diehl

Dear Hidden Lake Families and Students,

At Hidden Lake, our mission is to help every student reach their fullest potential and take meaningful steps toward graduation. That begins with simple but powerful habits that set you up for success. Being on time, in dress code, and off devices allows you to be fully present, engaged, and ready to learn each day.

School begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. Arriving on time ensures you do not miss important instruction and sets a professional standard that will serve you well in life after high school. Following the dress code is about more than compliance; it is about learning professionalism, showing pride in yourself, and representing our school community in a positive way. Keeping phones and headphones away in class is a choice that allows you to focus, learn more effectively, and build the discipline needed for the future.

We also make it a priority to celebrate our students. From recognizing our Hero of the Week to rewarding strong attendance and effort, we want you to know that being here and doing the right things matters. These celebrations remind us that success is not just about academics but also about the daily choices that shape who we become.

When we commit to these expectations together, we create the best environment for learning and growth. Every day you come prepared, on time, and ready to engage, you are taking another step on the road to graduation. We are proud of the progress we see and excited to continue celebrating your success along the way.

Best,

Mr. Diehl
Principal 
Hidden Lake Secondary School
