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!
Congresswoman DeLauro held a press conference to celebrate $425,000 in community project funding for the Town of Hamden’s Energy Efficiency System that she secured as part of the recently passed government funding bill. The project will replace HVAC units and controls currently in service at the Town of Hamden Government Center to improve energy efficiency and reduce the Town's carbon footprint. DeLauro secured $26,940,403 in funding for local projects in Connecticut’s Third Congressional District. This project, along with others, is supported by Hamden High School students in the Hamden Engineering Careers Academy (HECA). Read more

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
