Principal's Message
I hope this message finds you and your family well-rested and recharged after a well-deserved summer break. As we prepare to begin the 2025–2026 school year, I want to extend a warm welcome back to each of you.
Last year brought both challenges and triumphs, and through it all, your support and partnership made a tremendous difference. The dedication of our families, combined with the passion and resilience of our staff, is what makes Hyman Elementary such a special place for learning and growth.
Looking ahead, I’m filled with excitement and optimism for what we will accomplish together this year. We remain committed to building on the strong foundation we’ve established, always striving for excellence in everything we do. While we know that challenges may arise, I am confident that by continuing to “Lead with IMPACT,” we will create meaningful and lasting experiences for our students.
Our theme for this school year is: “From ABC’s to Ph.D.’s.” This theme reflects our belief in the limitless potential of every child and the importance of laying a strong educational foundation that inspires lifelong learning. Let it serve as a reminder of the powerful role we all play in shaping the future of our students.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. I am honored to serve as your principal and look forward to a year filled with growth, achievement, and joyful learning.
With gratitude and high expectations,
Derrick Ross, Principal
Hyman Elementary School
