🇺🇸🐉 HHS Alumni Spotlight: Staff Sergeant Shea Moody
We would like to recognize 2005 HHS graduate Staff Sergeant Shea Moody!
A former Green Dragon football and baseball player, Moody was named the 2026 Kentucky National Guardsman of the Year through the Best Warrior Competition.
Moody served in the United States Marine Corps from 2009–2013 as a Low Altitude Air Defense Gunner. He later owned a CrossFit gym in Corbin before joining the Army National Guard in 2019. He is currently deployed with the Mountain Warriors of the 1st Battalion, 149th Infantry Regiment.
He calls Corbin home alongside his wife, Amber, a second-grade teacher, and their children, Baylor, Piper, and Campbell.
Congratulations on this outstanding honor, Staff Sergeant Moody! Thank you for your service and for representing HHS with pride and valor. 💚
Sunshine School students are off to a great start! They are learning to write their names and how to be good friends to one another. ☀️✏️💛

What a wonderful time we had welcoming our Sunshine Preschool families for our Open House!

Thank you to all of our Sunshine families for joining us and for being such an important part of our preschool community! We’re looking forward to a bright and wonderful year together! Together, we’re helping our little ones!
