May 2018- CONNECT Newsletter
Superintendent Message
It’s only appropriate that the week set aside to appreciate our teachers and staff occurs just a short time before high school graduation. From the time our students start pre-school until they receive their diplomas, their lives are forever changed by special teachers and staff who inspire them and motivate them. They play a key role in helping our students navigate their journey from childhood to adulthood.
Each year, we hear stories of students who have success despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Standing behind every one of those stories is a teacher or staff member who was committed to making a difference. I see the difference our staff is making firsthand when I visit classrooms and schools.
The time our teachers and staff put into their profession, their classroom, their school, and their students is greatly appreciated. Thank you, HCS Teachers and Staff. You inspire and change lives.
