Welcome to the Hartland Consolidated School District.  Hartland is proud to call itself a “premier school of choice” school district where families choose to reside, and non-residents choose to enroll their children for an outstanding education.  We are proud of our students’ academic, co-curricular, and extra-curricular participation and achievement. The district has three options for grades 9-12 high school (traditional, alternative, and virtual), two 7-8 middle school options (traditional and virtual), an intermediate school for grades 5-6, and four elementary schools for grades PreK-4.  In addition, we offer quality child care, robust community education offerings, and a thriving senior activities center.  
   
We have begun the process of updating our facilities and technology thanks to a generous $45,000,000 bond program approved by the Hartland community in August of 2020.  This includes creating new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) centers in each of our elementary schools.  We are adding a state-of-the-art robotics center to further support the STEM curriculum and the growth in technology-based careers.  An auxiliary sports stadium is being built to better meet the needs of the community and school district’s extracurricular and recreational activities.  All of our buildings will be outfitted with state-of-the-art technology enhancements and other significant improvements over the next three years of the bond implementation. 
 
The Board of Education has enthusiastically supported efforts to provide viable curriculum offerings at all levels while supporting instructional coaches in English language arts, mathematics, and science.  Instructional coaches provide individualized, small group, and large group professional development for teachers on best practice instruction, revised curriculum expectations, and student intervention.  This work is essential as the district operates from an intervention perspective to ensure that all children have the support necessary to be successful.  Teachers, administrators, paraeducators, and support staff all focus on academic and behavior intervention for students. These efforts have resulted in an annual graduation rate of 95% or better.  Our concern for the emotional well-being of students is guided by social-emotional learning (SEL) teams at each building.  The SEL team approach is to assist families with resources while providing compassion, guidance, advocacy, and hope.  We continue to provide an English Language Learning specialist, counselors at the intermediate school, middle school, and high school, at least one social worker or psychologist at each building, and a dedicated Student Assistance Coordinator.  Additional supports are generated through educational programming and networking with local and state agencies. 
 
The students and staff of Hartland Consolidated Schools believe in the fundamental tenets of Reason, Respect, and Responsibility. We are committed to ensuring that everyone is treated with civility and respect and will not accept behaviors that are contrary to this expectation.  We are a community of life-long learners that embraces individuality and collectively care for one another.  
 
I am honored to have the opportunity to work in this community and welcome all that choose to call Hartland home.  Feel free to contact our staff, administration, and Board of Education with your thoughts.  
 
Respectfully,
Chuck Hughes
Superintendent
