Principal's Message

It is with great excitement that I return as the principal of Hill Elementary School. As I enter my sixth year, I look forward to continuing to build relationships with our students, families and community. Hill Elementary is a great school with a dedicated staff, motivated scholars, and supportive parents and families. This year I would also like to welcome Mrs. Summer Hughes on board as our new Assistant Principal. She will be a great asset to our school. 

We are excited for the 2024-25 school year. We have a lot of work to do in the classroom. We will continue to offer both before and after school intervention as well as enrichment opportunities for all students. Teachers attended their summer professional development training and are ready to get to work!

We will also continue to build our ASPIRE program and focus on supporting students' social emotional learning. Our Wellness Room continues to be a hit amongst students and staff and our ASPIRE team works to build relationships with all students. If you do have concerns with your child's mental health or emotional well-being or need resources for your and your family, please contact the school and we will get the support you need. 

The relationship between school, family and community is so important for a successful school experience for children. We offer many activities and committees that we hope you join in on. I encourage parents and family members to get involved by joining our PTA, English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), or School Site Council (SSC). Any amount of help is wanted. 

Beginning Friday, August 16th, we will host our monthly Flag Deck ceremony on the blacktop at 8:45 am and all parents and family members are invited to attend.  We also hope you will join us for our Back to School Night, Chuck E Cheese nights, Star Night, Skate Night, Disney musical play, Open House, the return of International Night, and many other events happening on campus.  Please make sure you join Parent Square to keep up to date on all the happenings on campus.

As always, if you ever have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact the office or myself,

I look forward to our continued work together. Go Hounds!
