Here’s to a school year filled with friendships, memories, learning, and lots of fun!

The first days of school are all about getting adjusted, learning new routines and calming those back-to-school nerves!
That was the focus of Thursday’s 8th grade welcome assembly in the Hamilton High School Auditorium. Staff reviewed building maps, explained important processes and answered questions to help students feel more comfortable in their new surroundings.
Our 8th graders are adjusting quickly thanks to the support of our fantastic staff!

Hamilton High School is back—and the first-day energy was fantastic!
Our students and staff filled the building with smiles, excitement and plenty of Hawkeye pride. This year, we also welcomed our eighth graders to the high school as their temporary home while the middle school roof is replaced.
The Class of 2027 started its final first day together with Senior Sunrise before heading inside for the start of an unforgettable year.
From our eighth graders to our seniors, it was a wonderful first day at HHS. We have a feeling it’s going to be a great year!

We were excited to welcome our newest staff members to Hamilton Community Schools during New Staff Orientation today! They toured the district, participated in training sessions, connected with their new colleagues, and learned more about what makes Hamilton such a special place.
They come to us with different backgrounds, experiences, and roles, but they already share two important things: a love for kids and a love for Hamilton.
We’re grateful to have them on our team and can’t wait to see the difference they make for our students in the year ahead!
