Dear HHS Students and Families,

I am thrilled to welcome you back to school for the 2018-2019 year at Hamilton High School. The Hamilton High faculty and staff are busy preparing the school and classrooms for an exciting year of learning and growth and change. We are looking forward to hearing about your summer experiences, getting caught up with returning families, and meeting our newest Bulldogs.

A well-rounded education means outstanding instruction from highly prepared teachers, as well as extracurricular opportunities and supports that enable students to develop character, cultivate passions, and explore the world outside of the classroom. As the Principal at HHS, I am committed to ensuring that student needs and interests help shape instruction and extracurricular opportunities. Through this shared commitment to learning, I am excited to see students engaged in meaningful learning in the classroom, scoring the winning point on the field or court, performing in the band, excelling in our Ag program, our FCCLA program, or any other area that peaks student interest and passion.

At Hamilton HS student success is the goal of every staff member. We believe with our dedication to high quality, research-based best practices, every student will learn at their full potential. To help support us in achieving this goal we ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:

1. Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience;
2. Completes all homework assignments given by teachers;
3. Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life;
4. Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject;
5. Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and go on to a post secondary institution.

Have a great rest of the summer!

Warm regards,

Gina Poe, Principal
