Dear Parents and Friends;

The possible changes coming next fall here at HPS are a wonderful opportunity for our school community.  We don't know exactly what those changes will be.  In fact, we have no more information that you at this point, but the staff and students welcome any opportunity to show what we are really made of! 

HPS continues to have a bad rap on the street and as you well know, it is totally undeserved.  This reputation is so old that school parents tell me that they were often labelled when they were kids themselves. The rumours are so rampant that even I had reservations about what I might find when I was first assigned here, simply based on "the word on street".  But before school had even begun in my first year, before a single child had come back from summer holiday, I was blown away by the spirit, the kindness, the caring I found at HPS.  We have an amazing, fun, caring staff that loves coming to work here every day. 

Our suspension rate is as low as any of our neighbouring schools and we have a bright clean well cared-for building that other visitors compliment us on.  But most of all we have heart and character.  Visitors who walk through the front doors consistently marvel at the kindness, happiness and safety that resonate through the halls and that they, in fact, feel, simply by being here.  The culture and atmosphere are second to none.  We are uber-proud to be "in the heart of Huntsville".  Step through our front doors.  Meet our staff.  See our kids at work.  Experience the difference that caring, dedication, happiness and a safe and supportive learning environment can provide to children. 

We're Huntsville Public School and we're proud of it.
