Throughout the year, so many of our students and staff members at Hamden Public Schools go above and beyond. They are shining beacons of our core values and the district honors those who make our schools a better place every day. 

See this month's Hamden Heroes!

Hamden Public Schools is very proud of the work being done by our students across the district.

Every month, Superintendent Highsmith honors our wonderful students from each school with the Superintendent's Student of the Month award.

See all the students!

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today announced that Hamden Middle School is one of 8 schools in Connecticut to be named as a "No Place for Hate" school!  Hamden Middle School’s designation as a "No Place for Hate" institution recognizes the school’s commitment to taking a stand against all forms of hate and creating an inclusive school community. Read ADL's Press Release and view ADL's National 2020-2021 NPFH Recognition Video. You may also want to view Governor Lamont's congratulatory video about the No Place for Hate recognition, as well as his support for the NPFH vision to be spread state and nationwide. 

We couldn't be prouder of our HMS community and their efforts!

COVID-19 has changed life for all of us, but children, especially those in their teens, may be experiencing particularly great stresses at this time. Feelings of isolation, loss, uncertainty and fear may be heightened.  The CT Department of Public Health has issued a brief list of recommendations and supports to help our youth.
