Therefore, any comments or concerns regarding operational matters should be directed to the teachers and administration outside of the board meeting. Public comment is intended for one-way communication, and while the Board members will not respond during the meeting, appropriate follow-up will be undertaken as deemed necessary. We ask that charges or complaints against individuals be addressed through the school's grievance process. Additionally, defamatory or abusive language will not be tolerated during public comment sessions. Please start your comment by introducing yourself, and we will begin your 3-minute timer when you begin talking.

Thank you, HHA families and community members, for your continued support and advocacy for our school. 💙

Although the HHA charter vote was not placed on the May CCSD Board agenda, we remain hopeful and committed to moving forward together.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended the May 11 Board meeting, spoke in support of HHA, and helped collect 269 letters of support presented to the Board by one of our middle school students.

Support letters can still be submitted through June 5. (Please CC Mrs. Miller-Forrest on any letters you send) Thank you for continuing to stand with HHA!

Third grade took learning beyond the classroom this week at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science! 🔬🦖📚

Our students explored with curiosity, asked thoughtful questions, and truly acted like young scholars throughout the day. It was especially encouraging to see them demonstrating strong character traits in their interactions with museum staff and one another; showing respect, responsibility, and kindness wherever they went.

We’re proud of the way our students represented our Classical Core Knowledge community while bringing history and science to life through hands-on learning!
