Salutations Spartans, On the behalf of your HCEC faculty and staff. Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year. We hope you had a restful summer and had the chance to read a good book or participate in mindful activities. We are excited about all this new school year has to offer and look forward to working with our students and families as we focus on continuous improvement in teaching and learning and all areas of our school environment. Class of 2026 welcome to the family. We look forward to seeing your academic and personal growth over the next four years. This year we will renew our commitment to excellence in all that we do, with a resolute expectation that all students can learn and succeed. We will continue to provide students with growth opportunities through learning new knowledge, continuing to build math literacy skills, being college or workforce-prepared, and having the opportunity to participate in advanced academic classes. We will continue to implement initiatives to promote teaching and learning and to engage all our stakeholders in the process of educating our students. The HCEC High School family will commit to continuous improvement in all aspects of our organization. We will continue to focus on efforts to improve student engagement. We believe that when students are engaged, it positively impacts their performance in every content area, and their overall academic growth and development. We look forward to partnering with our stakeholders in these initiatives. We are excited about all this new school year has to offer and look forward to working collectively as a family to ensure that our students are provided with the best educational experience possible to be critical thinkers, responsible citizens, and prepared to be successful in their endeavors after high school. We will continue to implement mitigation measures as our Superintendent determines are needed to ensure that our staff and students' safety and well-being are prioritized. We encourage you to become active members of the PTSA and the Spartan family and look forward to seeing you on campus for academic and extracurricular functions. It is going to be an amazing year. Sincerely, J.L. Williams, Principal
