Temporary Front Office Location

Due to construction and air conditioning upgrades, Hickory Tree’s Front Office will be temporarily relocated to the Portables at the back of the school for the summer. 

If you need to visit the front office, please follow these directions: 

  1. Enter through the Hickory Tree Community Park entrance (road) on Old Hickory Tree Road. 
  2. Continue following the road alongside the playground. 
  3. Pass the portables on the left hand side of the road and take the first LEFT.
  4. Park in the grass parking area located behind the portables. 
  5. Enter through the open gate and follow the signs. 

Please use the map as a reference and feel free to call us at 407-891-3120 if you need assistance. The main front office entrance and parking lot will not be accessible during construction. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we complete these important improvements to our campus. We look forward to assisting you from our temporary office location this summer.

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
Principal, Hickory Tree Elementary

Testimonials

Student Testimonial

I’ve been at Hickory Tree since 2nd grade, and I feel happy there. My teachers really care about me and make going to school fun. Clubs like NEHS teach me about being a leader and helping others.  Recess is the best because I get to play soccer with my friends, and everyone is really kind here.  The best part of being at HTE is that I’ve grown more confident and ready for middle school. I’ll miss this place a lot! - Braedon, Student When we moved to the area, one of our biggest concerns was finding the right school for our son. Starting over in a new place is never easy. From the very first day, we knew we had made the right choice with Hickory Tree. The teachers/staff welcomed us warmly, and took the time to get to know my son and help him adjust. He's grown more confident, made new friends, and developed a love for learning. HTE is a wholesome school where our son has thrived academically and personally and we’re so grateful to be part of it. – Gianeris & Evelio, Parents
