Work Hard, Love Kids and Be Positive!
I am thankful for the opportunity to serve the students, staff, and community of Hamlin. The 2022-2023 school year brings new opportunities and new challenges, so we will continue to live out our core values to be student centered, Piper proud, and passionately hopeful.
In support of our Mission, Vision and Values, in the spring of 2019 the Hamlin Collegiate Board of Trustees voted to adopt the P-20 Model of Student Success and changed the school district’s name to Hamlin Collegiate ISD. HCISD is building something new and innovative that will push us beyond what we traditionally think of as “school.”
Through our instructional models and programs of Montessori, PTECH, AVID, and Project Based Learning, we will keep our focus on strategies that prepare students for the world in which they will live and work not just the next test, next grade, and next level. The goal is increased aspiration, grit, and resilience.
Over the course of the next 4 years, the goals for Hamlin Collegiate High School’s graduating seniors are:
- 90% will complete an associate of arts degree by grade 12, a work-based learning experience, and an individual research project
- 80% of these will complete a bachelor’s degree and will earn a high-demand workforce certificate
- 70% of these will complete a postgraduate degree or certification
As we begin year 4, we are thankful that we have systems in place to enable us to continue our transformational journey so that our students can be college, career, and LIFE ready!
Please contact your teacher, campus leadership team, or myself if you need additional information about any of our programs. You can also learn more by visiting us on our web page or on Facebook.
The entire HCISD faculty, staff and I welcome you to a new and exciting school year. We truly believe in our students and our staff with the full knowledge that together with our parents, we can continue to impact the lives of our students in a positive way.
Respectfully,
Randy Burks, Ed. D.
