Our elementary faculty and staff showed up READY this morning! 🎉 The music was playing, and the excitement for a brand-new school year was everywhere. From the moment everyone walked through the doors, you could feel it...HCS is ready!

This year, we are dreaming BIG, and every big dream starts somewhere. In our elementary schools, our teachers and staff help students discover what they love, imagine what is possible, and begin building the confidence to go after it. That is where momentum begins.

The energy is here. The momentum is building. And next week, we add the most important piece...OUR STUDENTS! 🎉

Hoover City Schools, we are READY for an incredible year!

Our faculty and staff are officially back, and what a way to kick off the new school year! 🎉

Today, our secondary teams came together for Institute, and the excitement was everywhere. From reconnecting with colleagues and celebrating the start of a new year to enjoying a great breakfast, coffee, and plenty of photo booth fun, it was the perfect way to launch another incredible year in Hoover City Schools.

A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors for helping make today so special. Your support helped us start the year with full hearts, full stomachs, and plenty of smiles!

This year’s theme, Dreaming Fuels Momentum, reflects the important role our schools play in helping turn our students’ dreams into opportunities for the future. Today, that momentum officially began, and we cannot wait to see where it takes us.

Families, get ready...it’s going to be an incredible year! We cannot wait to welcome our elementary faculty and staff tomorrow as the excitement continues.

Join us in welcoming our newest teachers to the Hoover City Schools family! 🎉

Today, our new teachers learned more about who we are, what drives our work, and the shared purpose that brings us together as a school district and as educators.

We are so proud to welcome this amazing group to the HCS team and excited to see the impact they will have on our students, schools, and community.

Help us give our new teachers a BIG Hoover City Schools welcome! We can’t wait to see the momentum they create!

Working in a school system gives you so many opportunities to collaborate with amazing people from schools and departments across the district.

Last week, our school and district bookkeepers and payroll team came together for a day of learning and collaboration before heading to Dave & Buster’s for a team-building activity.

Thank you to Truist and AmFirst for sponsoring the event and supporting our Hoover City Schools team!

LTI - Learn, Teach, Inspire took flight this week! ✈️ While our students are enjoying summer break, our educators are learning together and preparing for another great school year. More than 150 sessions led by HCS educators provided engaging professional learning opportunities based on feedback from our employees.

Thank you to our presenters for sharing their knowledge and to our vendor partners for providing helpful services for our employees - Alabama Conference of Educators, Alabama Education Association, Corebridge Financial, Employee Assistance Services, eCO Credit Union, and YMCA of Greater Birmingham, Hoover Branch.

We’re excited to keep the learning going today!
