We actively work to ensure that Hearst is a safe and positive community where students, staff, and families have a sense of belonging and significance. In our learning environments, whether virtual or in-person, we strive to remove barriers, promote student autonomy, and offer individual choice. As a staff, we are focused on responding to students’ individual, cultural, and developmental learning needs and strengths. Taken together, these principles and goals are the foundation for why we believe Hearst is the best little school in the district.
