Superintendent's Welcome

Dear Parents, Students, and Community Members,

For the 2025-26 school year, Hazel Park Schools will rally around the theme of “We Are One”, which means we are One Family, One School, and One Community.

This is a powerful reminder that no matter which school you attend or the role you play, we are all united in our mission to support student success. As a district, we are stronger when we work together, learn together, and grow together.

“We Are One” means more than just a slogan. It reflects our deep commitment to shared values, open communication, and a learning environment where every student is seen, heard, and empowered. From our dedicated teachers and staff to our supportive families and community members, we are one team — committed to excellence.

As we begin this school year, we are committed to:

• A safe and positive learning environment.

• A continued focus on learning and student well-being.

• A collaborative culture with strong partnerships between home and school.

• Attention to results and shared purpose for everyone and everyone to succeed.

HPS is dedicated to working with parents and the community to ensure our students are on track to succeed in whatever they choose as a career path upon graduation. Together, we will continue the vital work of educating students and strengthening the relationships and partnerships that make our district so special. We are committed to empowering our students to go out and change the world.

I can’t be more proud of what we have built here at Hazel Park Schools. From our innovative learning programs to a diverse range of extracurricular activities, our schools offer every student the opportunity to explore their interests and talents. Our educators work tirelessly to provide safe, inspiring spaces where students are encouraged to reach their full potential.

At HPS, you are part of a community that values education and supports one another. Together, we will continue to build a brighter future for our children.

We can’t thank you enough for being part of something bigger here at Hazel Park Schools because together, We Are One.

When our schools thrive, our community thrives.

With Students In Mind,

Dr. Amy Wilcox
Superintendent, Hazel Park Schools
