We’re proud to celebrate district-wide growth in academic achievement with the release of the 2024-2025 school grades! Not only did we see an overall increase in the number of A and B schools, but two schools even jumped two full letter grades, from a C to an A. These grades reflect the hard work of our students, teachers, staff, and school communities across the district. Congratulations, HCPS Family! Let’s keep the momentum going!
Congratulations to Milady Astacio, the new principal of Dawson Elementary School!

We’re thrilled to welcome Milady back to #TeamHCPS and to the home of the Dawson Dragons!
