Join us in congratulating one of our student-athletes, Brianna Alers, who became a National Boxing Champion! Brianna competed each day over a 3-day boxing tournament in Kansas City and she is now ranked #1 in the country. This is something she was striving for and talked about when she was highlighted on NBC’s Connecticut In Color a few months ago.
Congratualtions, Brianna!

The Hamden Public School System is committed to finding ways to ensure that our staff is racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse. One of our efforts in this area is our participation in the CT Teacher Residency Program. If you are interested in becoming a certified teacher in Connecticut, the CT Teacher Residency Program may be a great opportunity for you. This program differs from many others in that it is a paid residency that leads to Connecticut elementary teacher certification.
There is also a CT Teacher Residency Program just for special education certification. See more here
