News from Hamilton High School

Veterans Day

School is closed tomorrow, Monday, November 12th in observance of Veterans Day. We would like to thank those who have served our country and give special recognition to current faculty members: Mr. Darby and Mr. Robinson.

Your Voice Matters!

We need all parents and guardians to please take 10 minutes to complete the School Experience Survey. Your input is appreciated and needed for us to identify areas of success for the school and areas that need improvement. A link to complete the survey can be found on the Hamilton website homepage. Paper surveys can be turned in to the main office or the Parent and Family Center in Room 109.

Spring 2018 Honor Roll Recognition

Congratulations to the 860 students who received certificates and pins for achieving honor roll for the 2018 Spring Semester.

November is Substance Use Prevention month. We want to thank the Westside Family Health Center for their classroom presentations about the adverse affects of drug and alcohol use. Please speak to your son or daughter about the dangers of drug and alcohol use and visit drugfreeworld.org for helpful facts and videos to learn more.

There are only 19 more days until all UC/CSU applications are due! If your student needs support with this, please plan to attend one of our after school college application support sessions. The next one will be held this Thursday in Room 500. Parents are also welcome to attend!
