Brief Message From the Principal
Hello Hansen Community!
As we surpass midterms for Quarter 3, we are excited to see the continued growth of our students. Many are stretching their limits to meet the high expectations set by their teachers, and we are proud of the progress they are making. It has been rewarding to recognize and celebrate students who are consistently demonstrating respect, responsibility, and readiness to learn. Weβve seen improvements in student behavior, and this positive change is a reflection of our communityβs dedication.
Our seniors are working diligently to complete their senior project portfolios and boards in preparation for their spring presentations. We are incredibly proud of all our students and the hard work they put in every day. It is an honor to be part of such a dedicated school community.
