I just finished my last briefing meeting of the day and I am happy to report that the HCPSS is ready to go for the first day of school. All hands are on deck as we prepare to greet our 56,500 beautiful young people back to school. Happy New Year.

Parents and Guardians: Please consider posting your first day of school pictures using #HCPSSFirstDay and tag us HCPSS Michael J. Martirano, Ed.D.
