News from Hamilton High School
WASC Update
We have officially received our WASC Accreditation for the next six years with a mid-term visit! We could not have received this result without the hard work of everyone in the Hamilton community. We will continue to work on our WASC goals to make Hamilton the best school it can be!
Passport Sign-Ups
Currently only 41% of our families have signed up for a Passport account. This essential communication tool allows parents access to their child’s academic and attendance records. Letters will be going out soon to notify families who still need to sign up for a Passport account. You can sign up online by clicking on the link below and selecting 'Register for an account'.
