The Student Council had been very excited to be asked by the administration, Officer Joe, and local law enforcement to come up with new names for the hallways in their school. Instead of just Corridor A or Corridor B, these new names, they believed, would make locations throughout their building more easily identifiable, making communication clearer and keeping everyone safer. They took this assignment very seriously. They researched how and why communities chose the names they did for streets. What they discovered was that the majority of streets and roads were named to recognize and honor people, events, or locations. They also learned the difference between words such as avenue, lane, and place. Using a lot of this new information, they worked really hard to come up with just the right name for each of the 8 hallways in their building. Today they had the opportunity to share not only the names of the hallways but why they chose the names and what the new signs would look like.
Congratulations to our final Glenn Curtiss Golden Lakers of the 2024-2025 school year! These students are visionary and inspire positive action in others. They recognize, invest in, and leverage others' strengths to build collective ownership and action. These Golden Lakers help create an environment that empowers others to grow and succeed. Congratulations to these fantastic Lakers!
A special recognition to Mrs. Bower for her many years of service to HCS and the community. Best wishes on your retirement 💜

The Hammondsport Teachers Association offers students awards annually. This year, they recognized students in grades 3rd and 5th.

These young people were selected by their teachers for meeting the following criteria: working hard and showing enthusiasm, having Laker characteristics in both school and the community, having a positive outlook in all kinds of situations, and helping out teachers and fellow students throughout the day. Congratulations to this year's recipients!
