WE HAD ANOTHER SUCCESS, THANKS TO YOU!!

First, some regional news that should be very important to all of us. Announced recently, thousands of Fort Hood soldiers are gearing up for a rotation in Europe. The 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, known as Greywolf, are being deployed to Europe to help in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which will include 4,000 soldiers and thousands of pieces of equipment. Their mission will be to deter aggression, monitor instability and train side by side with our allies. Please keep these brave men and women in your prayers and thoughts for their safety and their operation’s success. And keep in mind, the last military draft was in 1972. These brave men and women volunteered to put themselves in harm’s way, if necessary, to protect our freedoms.

Hamilton ISD is buzzing with Bulldog pride this fall, from beloved community traditions to new opportunities that are shaping our students’ futures.
