Shaw family, Save these dates. We look forward to seeing you!

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!

Excited to share that we've maintained our school grade of a “C”!
While there’s still plenty of work ahead, we’re proud of the progress we've made and are committed to continued growth. Grateful for our dedicated team, supportive community, and the journey we’re on together!
