Message From the Superintendent
Welcome back! Our outstanding maintenance staff has been busy all summer cleaning and getting the building and campus ready for students and staff for the 15th year! One major project that is in motion at this time is the athletic complex parking lot and renovations to field #1. Both projects should be completed by mid-September and will provide the needed handicap accessible parking and drainage upgrades that will be used by several generations to come. The district also completed several preventative maintenance projects over the summer, one such is sealing all concrete surfaces and fixing a few sidewalks on campus. A second project was the replacement of our well pump and its associated electrical panel, which was near end-of-life capacity.
As a district we are once again pleased to announce that school supplies, excluding book bags and headphones, will be provided this school year. Please wait to purchase these headphones until you have talked to your child’s teacher at open house, especially at the elementary grade levels. This change should alleviate stress and minimize the costs for parents at the beginning of the school year. Students and visitors to the building will see two new flatscreens for student recognition. These new initiatives will illuminate past graduates and current student successes, in addition to upcoming events within the school district throughout the school year. Last, but not least, this year is the fourth and final phase of our district’s one-one initiative. All students in grades 5-12 will be provided a school issued Chromebook!
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the school year, I can be reached at rmaier@hardinhouston.org or at 295-3010 ext. 3001. The district will continue to use our school website to communicate with our community, in addition to our two X accounts @hhlocalschool and @HHWildcats. I am looking forward to a great school year and hope you are as well. As always- GO WILDCATS!
Yours in education,
Ryan Maier
