OUR BELIEF

We believe that learning happens at its highest levels when instruction is centered around the needs of the whole child. School experiences blend high quality academic learning with social and emotional skill development. Students are exposed to a variety of educational opportunities that foster the overall development of the whole child. We are committed to seeing that every child grows towards their full potential during their time in our school.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Here at West Hancock Middle School we believe that all kids are capable of success with no exceptions. We believe that connecting with kids is equally if not more important than connecting kids with content. We show this through interactions, our celebrations and our high expectations. As the gatekeepers of these transformative years as West Hancock students, we know that developing ready learners and a responsible citizenry is crucial to achieving our district vision – Empowering all students to thrive in an ever–changing world.

– Rene G Molina
