Our Priorities

No child’s educational experience should be determined by circumstance. 

Hempfield is a diverse community made up of families of different backgrounds and life experiences. 

School environments should be welcoming and safe for every member of the Hempfield community.

We are committed to expediting the implementation of a full day kindergarten program for every student in the district.

We will encourage creativity and adaptability to equip our students for a rapidly evolving world, giving them the tools to succeed in whatever path they choose.

We will actively uplift the voices of our students and will integrate their feedback in decision making.

We respect students’ rights to access information and educational materials, recognizing them as active participants in their own learning.

We will support policies, programs, and staffing to ensure our district prioritizes the social, emotional, and mental health of every student.

We are dedicated to the careful management of community investments to ensure our spending is effective and impactful.

Hempfield must develop and implement a long-term financial plan that addresses future needs and ensures the sustainability of educational programs, facilities, and resources.

We believe a proactive approach is the only financially responsible path, as it reduces long term costs and prevents disruptions caused by deferred maintenance.

Hempfield deserves decisive leaders that look ahead and plan for our school community's evolving needs.

When decisions are bogged down in endless analysis, district needs go unaddressed and budget pressures mount. We simply can’t afford to wait.

Guided by the lessons of the past, our priority is to rebuild trust with our teachers, staff, and the greater Hempfield community.

We will work with district leadership to foster a supportive and respectful work environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated.

Our students deserve teachers and staff who are inspired and excited to come to work each day.

Hempfield’s teachers and staff are talented and dedicated and we want them to be proud to work here.

When our teachers thrive, so do our students.

Information should be more accessible and transparent. 

We will work with district leaders to ensure everyone is informed about what is happening in our schools.

We need to demonstrate, not just declare, our commitment to being the best. 

Our team is uniquely poised and determined to champion continued growth for our students and community. 

We are prepared to refocus and build upon Hempfield’s tradition of academic and programmatic achievement.
