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

RESOLVED - 10:15 AM 8/31/26: Hamilton Community Schools is currently experiencing a phone service outage affecting some incoming and outgoing calls across the district.
Our telecom provider has confirmed it is experiencing a service disruption and is working to restore service as quickly as possible. We will share an update when phone service is fully restored.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
For 24 years, Food Service Director Paul Keene drove an hour each way to serve Hamilton Community Schools. Today, he made that drive for the final time as he heads into retirement!
Paul, thank you for your dedication and everything you have done for our students, staff and district. We wish you all the best in this well-earned next chapter!

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!
