Through numerous changes and challenges, our Hornets have become increasingly self-reliant, and technologically driven. As a result, many are more inquisitive and adept at finding solutions to their own challenges, as they journey towards high school, college, and career readiness in our global society.  

 As Hand’s principal, it is important that I say thank you to our teachers, staff, admins, parents, families and friends for their dedication, guidance, and unwavering support; always ready to help provide the best learning environment possible for our scholars. 

Surely, as we conclude this school year together, we share a “Spirited Farewell,” with the knowledge that we can continue to strive for excellence and success at Hand Middle School.  And, until we meet again in the school year 2023-2024, have an awesome summer break, including you, our 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade Hornets, whom we all are so very proud of. Thank you.
