Today, we said goodbye to someone who has meant so much to the Hosea family. ❤️🖤

After 7 incredible years at Hosea, we surprised Mr. McCarthy with a special clap out from our students and staff to celebrate his last day as our principal. While we are heartbroken to see him go, we are beyond grateful for the impact he has made on our school, our students, our families, and our community.

Mr. McCarthy has poured his heart into Hosea and helped make it the amazing place it is today. His leadership, support, kindness, and dedication have left a lasting mark on all of us. The legacy he leaves behind will continue to be felt for years to come.

Thank you, Mr. McCarthy, for everything you have done for the Hosea Hawks. You will always be part of the Hosea family. ❤️

Once a Hawk, always a Hawk!

Way to go, Hawks! ❤️

✨ February – Honesty
🤝 March – Cooperation
💪 April – Perseverance
⏳ May – Patience

Thank you to our amazing Character Kids for showing kindness, leadership, integrity, and determination every single day. We are so proud of the positive example you set for others!
