Attention Bulldogs! There will be a time change for the HS Pep Rallies this year.

Hamilton ISD is excited to welcome students and families to Meet the Teacher Night on Monday, August 11th! Ann Whitney Elementary will host their event from 5:00–6:00 PM, followed by Hamilton Junior High from 5:30–6:30 PM, and Hamilton High School from 6:00–7:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to meet teachers, tour classrooms, and get ready for a fantastic school year. We look forward to seeing you there!

🎆 Hamilton ISD wishes everyone a safe, joyful, and patriotic Fourth of July! 🇺🇸 May your day be filled with celebration, gratitude, and community spirit.

🎆 HISD Offices Closed July 3–4

In observance of Independence Day, all HISD offices will be closed on Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, 2025.

We wish everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🎇 Regular operations will resume on Monday, July 7th.

📢 Attention HISD Parents and Guardians:

Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, a new Texas law will prohibit student use of cell phones, smartwatches, and earbuds/AirPods during the instructional day.

This law applies to all public schools across the state, including Hamilton ISD.

As we work through the details of this new requirement, we will be developing and communicating HISD’s local implementation plan to ensure a smooth transition for students, staff, and families.

We appreciate your support as we prepare for this important change. Stay tuned for additional updates.

Made Friday, May 15th, a holiday. This adjustment: Gives us two additional banked days/minutes for flexibility during the year. Allows for a less rushed and more organized end to the school year. Maintain Graduation on Friday, May 22, and schedule Junior High Promotion on Thursday, May 21. (Will allow counselors/teachers more time to get grades and awards ready) You can find a printable calendar here https://5il.co/3evra
