Opportunities for Growth
“The board of education adopts policies under which the school district operates;
oversees the budget; approves the curriculum; hires and evaluates the superintendent; represents the public during contract negotiations; and serves as a communications link between the community and the school system.”
–New Jersey School Boards Association, “The Role of the School Board”

The district supports sports teams, marching bands, choirs, jazz bands, and outstanding drama club productions.
This year, 94 HTSD students earned a Seal of Biliteracy on their diplomas through their test scores.
This fall, all three high school sports teams will play on new turf fields.
We Can Be Better
We teach our children to strive to be the best versions of themselves.
We feel the same about the school district. There are always improvements to be made.
As former public school students ourselves, and now parents of children in the school district, we want to build upon the district's existing strengths and work towards ensuring an even better educational experience for all HTSD students.
By electing us, Harvey, Stanton, and Soto, to the Board, you will elect people with first-hand knowledge as to how to continue to improve the HTSD school district that serves close to 12,000 students. Whether it’s how the PTAs can provide additional support and resources for children; or by making sure communications among administrators, teachers, students, and parents are carried out in the most effective means possible; parents like us are in the best possible position to work on these issues for the community.
We Hear You
We have heard your concerns either at board meetings or in private conversations.
Special Education: There are concerns about special education services. Meaghan will be on this issue based on her professional experience.
Test Scores: Everyone from the top down wants to see continued growth in academic performance. WE know that improving test scores is always a goal. Current board member, Christina, can tell you those scores are improving!
Diversity: Hamilton is a diverse community, and Denise has been aware of this since she was a student. She believes diversity makes our community - and our schools - more vibrant and interesting.
We Are You
As Moms with kids attending HTSD schools, we live your realities.
We understand your frustrations. Most importantly, we listen to your concerns and try to think outside the box for creative solutions to problems.
We believe in working with the administration to implement solutions.
Trust us to mend the divides and to build stronger connections between you and the district.
