Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow
Hilliard Highlights
Every time we look at the calendar we wonder where did this year go! Our staff made sure that each of the 171 days your scholar experienced at UES was one to support our school mission: Learn Today, Lead Tomorrow. We have 9 more days of instruction left in this school year and we will provide instruction until June 2nd.
Have SOARING good week.
With hawk pride,
Tracy Hilliard
