A Message from Superintendent Dr. Bradford Lusk

August 2024

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the beautiful summer weather. This edition of the Transcript is always an interesting one as it comes towards the end of summer, yet full of excitement for another school year. While we never wish away the summer break, the excitement of another school year is building among the staff. 

If you have followed our social media sites, you are aware of the great things going on during the summer. Many of the stories are in this edition and I hope you will enjoy them. What stood out to me is the recurring theme of community! Having former employees, coaches, staff, students, etc. come back to work, learn, and grow in Hamilton is truly amazing. The awards won by the buildings and district are not done in a vacuum, but rather built on the foundation of a community who supports our students and staff. Thank you!

While we have many great things going on, HCS is not exempt from mistakes. I personally apologize on behalf of HCS to Al’s Excavating for not being included as a monetary sponsor of the CDL program. We strive to do our best, but we do make mistakes on occasion. Owning the mistake and correcting it is what we want to model for our students. Thank you Al’s Excavating for all the support over the years and we apologize for the error in our previous Transcript newsletter.

The bond work is progressing nicely, athletic teams are preparing for the fall, and many of our teaching staff have spent time training/preparing to make 2024/2025 another memorable year for our students, staff, and community. Many of our buildings will have improvements to help individuals perform better on a daily basis. Our new faces to the district are ready to help make Hamilton the best district possible.

As July turns to August and another school year is upon us, HCS is excited to begin the educational journey with a new set of faces, while enjoying seeing/hearing about all the great things our recent graduates have accomplished. As we do, HCS looks to honor the past and prepare students to define the future. Take in the remainder of summer and I hope it has been all what you wanted it to be. I look forward to seeing everyone soon as the school year begins! 

Take care, make it a great day, and as always #GoHawkeyes
