Principal's Message

Report

When I first joined the Hancock family as an English teacher in 2009, I was excited to have an opportunity to work with students and families in the same community where I grew up. Throughout these past ten years, I have had the pleasure of watching Hancock blossom into a thriving school community.

Report

Hancock has dedicated itself to implementing a school-wide program for imbedding service learning in a purposeful way throughout the curriculum in various departments. This approach assures that students are exposed to multiple opportunities each year of high school.

Across and throughout every department you will find teachers constructing and implementing curriculum in their regular classroom and then extending the classroom experience to a clearly connected outside service learning project.
