Principal’s Message: Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year!
Dear Hickory Tree Families,
I hope you and your family are enjoying a wonderful summer filled with rest, relaxation, and special memories.
As we prepare for the start of the 2026–2027 school year, I want to take a moment to thank our entire Hickory Tree community for the incredible support that helped make last year such a success. Thanks to the hard work of our students, staff, and families, Hickory Tree achieved tremendous academic success and growth, which reflects the dedication and commitment of everyone who calls Hickory Tree home.
While we are proud of what we achieved together, we know that excellence is not a destination, it is a journey. As we begin this new school year, we are excited to embrace our theme, “Full Speed Ahead: Excellence Has No Finish Line.” This theme reminds us that although we celebrate our accomplishments, we will continue challenging ourselves to grow, improve, and reach even greater heights for our students.
Our staff is hard at work preparing for another exceptional year of learning, innovation, and opportunities for every child to succeed. We look forward to welcoming both returning and new Hawks to campus and creating an environment where students feel supported, inspired, and empowered to achieve their very best.
If you need assistance during the summer, please know that our team is here to help. Feel free to call us or stop by our temporary front office location, and we will be happy to assist you with any questions or needs you may have as we prepare for the upcoming school year.
Thank you for your continued partnership and trust. Together, we will make the 2026–2027 school year our best one yet.
Enjoy the remainder of your summer, stay safe, and get ready for an exciting year ahead. We can’t wait to welcome our Hawks back to campus soon!
With gratitude,
Amy Miller
