Hampton Township School District

Congratulations to the Hampton Class of 2026! Best of luck on your exciting futures!

We are grateful and proud to share that the Pennsylvania Department of Education awarded a $20,000 grant to Hampton Township School District to support students who are interested in becoming special education teachers.

Here at Hampton, we believe inclusive education changes lives — and this grant creates meaningful opportunities for students to experience the impact and importance of special education firsthand. Through initiatives such as the creation of a communication lending library, students will gain exposure to assistive technology and alternative communication systems that help ensure every learner has a voice. Students will also have opportunities to volunteer within our Extended School Year (ESY) programming, participate in independent studies that include supporting students in special education classrooms, and engage in inclusive activities through Best Buddies, Unified Sports/Bocce, and our Sign Language Club, which helps foster communication, connection, and awareness across our school community.

In addition, this grant will support the continuation of our partnership with La Roche University, providing students with expanded access to mentorship and exposure to pathways into potential special education careers. Together, these opportunities help cultivate empathy, leadership, and a deeper understanding of inclusive practices while inspiring the next generation of educators and advocates committed to building schools where every student belongs and thrives.

Every quarter at HMS, a “second chance” drawing takes place for students to have the chance to enjoy a special lunch! The PBIS program rewards students who demonstrate respect, responsibility, and motivation to learn. Congratulations to the last quarter of this school year's winners who enjoyed lunch from Caliente Pizza & Drafthouse!

Our Class of 2026 have been enjoying so many celebrations, and one of those include our beloved "Clap Out" tradition! Seniors revisited their elementary schools and were cheered on by students, faculty, and staff. Congratulations Class of 2026!

Huge congratulations to our amazing HHS Boys Lacrosse Team for being Section Champions and heading on to States! ​​👏👏👏

Congratulations to our HHS Chess Club members who are champions of their section in the 2026 Western PA Interscholastic Chess League and placed first at the Pine Richland Open Tournament in April!

A special congratulations also goes to 9th grader Ben Lin, who placed 1st overall individually at the Pine-Richland Open Tournament with an outstanding performance.

We were also excited to welcome back 2025 graduate Jinho So, founder of the club, who returned from Vanderbilt University to celebrate with the team.

Our talented and dedicated artists at HHS have completed a stunning mural for the high school. Students from Ms. Owens Drawing and Painting III class shared their creative process and the opening of the mural during their Senior Art Show. Great work!

Congratulations to our fantastic HHS students who were recognized and awarded at last month's Academic Awards Night.

As the school year starts winding down to an end, it’s time to look forward to next year! The 2026-2027 school calendar will celebrate the many canine companions that are part of our Talbot community while supporting this year’s Portrait of a Talbot theme. We are now accepting photo submissions of teachers, staff, administrators, students, and families with their dogs, as well as photos of dogs on their own, through May 31st. Be sure to check the attached information for submission details. We can’t wait to see your furry friends!
