Hamilton Highlights

To say we are in the homestretch is an understatement. Our seniors take their exams next week, and it's the last week of regular classes for our underclassmen. Now is the time to talk to your student(s) about making sure that any and all work is completed, made up, and executed to the best of their abilities. We also have lots of exciting things happening for our Rangers as we tie up these last couple weeks of school.

Parents, we need your feedback! Your voice is vital in the decision-making processes in place at our high school. You are part of our team that helps make HT the best it possibly can be for our Rangers. Please take just a few minutes to complete this survey for us to help us make the 2024-2025 school year a real success! Thank you!
