Harriet the Spy

Join the Hallsville High School Fine Arts Department for their spring play, Harriet the Spy! Harriet the Spy is a family-friendly show based on the 1964 book by Louise Fitzhugh. Hallsville's spring play will tell the story of 11-year-old Harriet M. Welsch (played by Junior, Ainslee Adkins). Harriet is an aspiring writer who spies on her quirky neighbors, jotting down her observations in a secret notebook. When her nanny, Ole Golly (played by Junior, Alyssa Troutman), leaves after getting engaged, Harriet struggles with the loss. Things get worse when her brutally honest notebook is found, turning her classmates against her. Can Harriet repair her friendships and put her life back on track?

PHASE 2: #BuildingOurTribe

On April 8, 2025, voters in the Hallsville School District will be asked to approve the issuance of $6.5 million in general obligation bonds known as Proposition 2. The bond proceeds will be combined with funds saved by the district to complete Phase 2 of a three-phase plan designed to address the district's facility needs and accommodate growth.


Phase 1, completed in 2024, added a new middle school wing, storm shelter, and football field. Phase 2 focuses on improving parking and traffic flow on the main campus, addressing growing student enrollment, and enhancing student safety. The $6.5 million generated through bond sales will fund the following:


  • Parking & Traffic Flow Improvements: Expanding parking and improving traffic flow on the main campus to accommodate student and guest parking.
  • New Classrooms at Hallsville Primary School: Addressing the growing student enrollment.
  • Relocated Baseball Field & Multipurpose Field: Constructing a new baseball field and adding an artificial surface multipurpose field.
  • Security Upgrades: Installing additional security doors at main entrances in the intermediate, middle, and high school.
  • Refinancing Lease Obligations: Paying off a lease-purchase agreement to reduce future financial commitments.

Proposition 2 will continue the district's efforts to enhance its facilities and ensure they meet the needs of students and staff.
