Principal's Message

Dear Hancock Faculty, Staff,  Students, and Community Leaders,

It is my continued honor to lead this exceptional school community, made up of outstanding students, a dedicated staff, and supportive families. Being part of Hancock is a privilege that I deeply respect and value.

This year, we are building on our strong foundation by expanding opportunities that prepare our students for success beyond high school. We are increasing access to Dual Credit and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, ensuring that more students than ever can engage in rigorous, college-level work. At the same time, we are working to embed college and career readiness skills in every classroom, across all content areas, so that students leave Hancock confident and prepared for their futures.

Our commitment remains the same: equity, access, and excellence for every student. Through intentional instructional practices, supportive relationships, and meaningful opportunities, we will continue to prepare our students to thrive in college, career, and life.

As always, my door is open. I value your input, your time, and your partnership as we work together to expand opportunities for our students. While we may not be able to implement every idea, your voice is essential in shaping our vision and direction.

Each day, I commit to leading with consistency, determination, and care. Together, we will celebrate every achievement and face challenges as opportunities to grow stronger as a school community.

I look forward to working alongside each of you as we continue to make Hancock a model of academic excellence and college readiness for all.

Warm regards,

Dr. Trista L. Harper
