That’s a wrap on another incredible school year! 🎉☀️
Today was the last day of school, and what a wonderful way to celebrate! We ended the day with popsicles, music, and lots of dancing on the front lawn. The smiles, laughter, and joy were the perfect way to close out a year filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable memories.
Thank you to our amazing Hornbill Scholars, dedicated staff, and supportive families for making this school year so special. We are so proud of all that our students have accomplished!
Wishing all of our Hornbill Scholars and staff a fun, relaxing, and well-deserved summer break. We can’t wait to see you again in the fall! ❤️🖤

Soaking in the moment— our 5th graders lined up and ready to march into their promotion ceremony. Such a bittersweet moment as we celebrate how far they’ve come and prepare to watch them spread their wings. Go, Hornbills! ~ Love, Principal Gao

HIA gained VIP access to the Minnesota Vikings training facility today! In the words of so many Hornbill Scholars, “Today was the best day ever!”
What an incredible way to wrap up the school year — Vikings players up close, field activities, a book fair, face painting, snacks, and nonstop smiles all around.
A day our Hornbills will never forget. Go Hornbills! 💜💛
