It’s American Education Week - a time for us to celebrate our public education system and all of the people who work hard every day to ensure our young people are informed and prepared to succeed in life after graduation.
Our deepest gratitude goes out to the teachers, educational assistants, special educators, bus drivers, nutrition service workers, groundskeepers, support staff, nurses, administrators, and many more who keep our schools running every day.
We encourage all students, families, and community members to take a moment to recognize and appreciate school staff members for the important role they play in our education system, and to thank them for their incredible dedication and commitment. You make us Proud to be HSD!
