News from Hamilton High School
A Message from Ms. P
Across our nation people are horrified by the recent incidents. We know that what our students are experiencing now will impact the choices they make in the future. At Hamilton we stand for equity, respect and justice. We are a strong community and a big part of our strength is the value we place in our diversity.

We know that some of our students are experiencing different feelings and we want to make sure we provide platforms where they can share and dialogue about these feeling. This week, Mr. Turner and I will hold several Restorative Justice circles for our students. Information will be sent out directly to students via Schoology.

We know we can do better.

Be kind, Be safe, Stay strong Yankees.

With Hami PRIDE,

Ms P

Students, we have 10 days left for the official last day of the school year…let’s not lose focus and try to maintain or improve those grades!
