As Hamilton School District looks to the future we realize there are questions and concerns. We hope to answer those through open and honest discussions.
As part of the 2023 Bond we are not only seeking to build a new middle school, we are also looking to do a small renovation and upgrade to Hamilton High School.
Our hope is to secure the lowest construction costs and work with the community to build a future for our kids, our schools, and our town.

When the community supported our plans to renovate and make additions to Daly Elementary School the district had planned to sell the Washington property. Those plans changed and there are good reasons why.

8th Grade DC Trip Day 5 (and last): Mount Vernon (George Washington's home)




8th Grade DC Trip Day 4 (yesterday): SUPER BUSY and I missed this post. LOTS of places after Gettysburg. National Archives, Smithsonian American History Museum, Smithsonian Natural History Museum, Dinner at Ben’s Chili Bowl (opened in 1958), Eisenhower Memorial, Washington Monument (cherry blossoms), FDR Memorial (cherry blossoms), MLK Memorial. So many places and not enough space to post all the pictures.




8th Grade DC Trip Day 4 am: Drive north to Gettysburg Battlefield in Pennsylvania.
