Principal's Message

 

Dear Hancock Faculty, Staff, and Community Leaders,

 

I am deeply honored to lead this exceptional school community, composed of outstanding students, a highly dedicated staff, and supportive families. Being part of such an esteemed institution is a privilege that I hold with great respect.

 

With over 25 years in education, including a decade as a teacher, I understand the pivotal role education plays in shaping the future. Through my own experiences, including the challenges of navigating multiple leadership changes early in my career, I recognize the importance of consistency and trust in leadership. I am committed to demonstrating my dedication through meaningful actions.

 

As an educator and advocate, I prioritize the needs of both teachers and students. My background has given me valuable insight into the complexities of modern education and the importance of resources that enhance our students’ experiences and help them reach their full potential.

 

I want to assure you that my door is always open. I am committed to actively listening to the concerns and perspectives of all stakeholders - students, parents, staff members, and community leaders alike. While I may not be able to accommodate every request, I value your time and input.

 

My commitment to you is one of continuous dedication and hard work. Each day, I will approach challenges with determination, recognizing that learning and growth come from both successes and mistakes. Together, we will celebrate achievements, big and small, as we build a bright future for our school.

 

I eagerly look forward to meeting and connecting with each member of our school community starting July 1st as we prepare for the upcoming academic year. 

 

Your involvement and support are invaluable, and I invite you to join me in shaping a promising future for our school.

 

Sincerely, 

 

 

 

Dr. Trista L. Harper
