Hotchkiss Pride – “Be Proud of who you are, and what you do all the time!”
Know it! Believe it! Live it!
It is hard to believe we are a few weeks
from ending this school year. It seems
that there is always some type of change
with every school year. This year brings
many changes for HK8 and the upcoming
2015-2016 school year.
We have 3 staff members retiring:
Ms. Susan Tate Hamrick
Educator (23 yrs)
Mrs. Rhonda Pinckard
Educator (23 yrs)
Mrs. Ila Cranor
HK8 custodian (16 yrs)
We have a few other outstanding staff
members that will be moving on to other
endeavors but not yet ready to retireJ!
Mrs. Jeannie Hinyard, Educator (25yrs)
Mrs. Becky Tanner, Educator (5 yrs)
Mrs. Connie Vincent, Educator (23 yrs)
Mrs. Leslie Sparks, Paraprofessional
We are extremely sad to see these
AMAZING people leave HK8, but we wish
them much success as they write their
next chapter of their lives. We have been
fortunate to have these wonderful people
involved
in our school as they have had a
tremendously positive impact on so many!
