A Message from the Principal
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at Hardin-Houston Elementary. I recently came across this quote from Bill Nye that made me think of the value of schools, “Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.” I know this statement to be true because I experience it every day of my life. As an example, I belong to a bicycling club. The vast majority of its members are highly educated, intelligent people. We spend many hours together as we cycle long miles. I am always humbled by how much I can learn on just one ride as I share discussions with a variety of people. This is what children experience in their classrooms every day at school. They are often introduced to a topic by the teacher, and then get to hear the thoughts, opinions, and experiences of their classmates as they share in a discussion. How lucky they are! One of my favorite things to do during the school day is visit classrooms and listen to some of these discussions. I get to learn about our students and from our students. It’s one reason I am very blessed to be here. We have a wonderful school filled with great kids!
Sara Roseberry, Hardin-Houston Elementary Principal
