Bravo to our jazz program for A Combo, B Combo, A Band and B Band all earning 1st place honors and C Band earning 2nd place honors at the Western States Jazz Festival. Special shout-out to Jack Houlihan and William Brandt who also won full scholarships to elite summer jazz programs and, of course, to Mr. Foschia for leading our amazing jazz students.
Welcome WASC Visiting Committee
WASC Visiting Committee arrived today and will be visiting the school through Wednesday.

In honor of the annual “R-Word Awareness” day, the Best Buddies club is asking everyone to help “Spread the Word to End the Word”. Oftentimes this derogatory term marginalizes and excludes individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD) because of its hurtful connotation. Please help end its usage here at Hamilton to change our school community for the better.
