Congratulations on perfect attendance!
We need 3 more teachers!
We are so close to being fully staffed, and we hope you can help. We are still hiring a few special education teachers and we need your help to get the word out! 7th grade science, math, and social studies studies all need a special education teacher, who would teach and plan with the general education teachers. If you know someone who might be interested in joining the Hilsman family, let them know we need them!
