Were Proud
As we say at Hamlin, You just cant hide that Hamlin Pride! As a community of learners, we pride ourselves on the comprehensive programs that we offer to support student success. Our collaborative model uses data to provide rich conversations to develop ways to help students find success academically, behaviorally and socially. Various support programs outside of the core classroom target individual student needs. Students have a variety of opportunities to access technology tools throughout the day. Our learning community is rich with diversity and culture, and we embrace that while focusing on the future. We provide multiple opportunities for parents and community partners to experience the school and help support our students.
