Message from the Principal

Welcome to Andrew Hamilton K – 8 School. As the principal, my goal is to work with the Hamilton Community in providing quality education, setting high expectations, and creating a caring community for all students.
Hamilton believes that all children are to be respected and their learning at the proficient level is our highest priority. We will work until the children achieve at the highest level. We are relentless in this effort.
Hamilton will monitor all instructional practice with the end in mind and that end will have all children working at the advanced level.  Hamilton's mission is to prepare our children to be able to attend and achieve and succeed at any high school and university of their choice.
  
Sincerely,

Annette Gittelman
