A Historic Day for the HSFI Community!

Pride poured through our building—and into the homes of tens of thousands of viewers—as Chris Wragge presented "Class Act" live from our auditorium. Our space was packed with hundreds of HSFI community members, some arriving as early as 4:00 AM for the live taping. Our centennial year has already been one for the books, and we are just getting started!

Check out the article and video footage from today’s event below. We will share more footage in the coming days, but for now, know that we represented the Falcons in all our glory!

Isseu is putting some touches on a 2D collage that represents a thoughtfully designed window concept, carefully refining each element to achieve balance and clarity. By arranging shapes, textures, and colors, the collage helps determine the overall composition and effective use of space, ensuring that every part contributes to a cohesive visual story. Through this process, Isseu is not only organizing the layout but also shaping a meaningful design that communicates both function and aesthetic intention.
