However, the lady at lower school that directs traffic in the morning has a disgusting attitude for whatever reason and has been mocking me for walking my daughter in and this morning even stared me down as I was leaving. I would greatly appreciate if someone addressed her as she isn't doing a good job of matching the loving environment and energy that school represents.

Both my husband and I grew up in public schools and choosing Hammond was a big decision and investment for our family. I regularly ask my kids if they are glad to be at Hammond and the answer is always a resounding, "Yes!". Hammond provides my children with an opportunity to be challenged, to grow in their passions, to experience new opportunities, to excel in becoming a well rounded individual that has a healthy respect for academic, athletic and cultural excellence. We have seen much growth and change at Hammond in our 13 years with technology, new facilities on campus, curriculum as it is an environment that knows to excel you can never stop learning and being open to change. Helen Kiser joined the Hammond family this past summer as LS Head and has already won the respect as well as the hearts of students, faculty and families. I know that with her passion for children and positive nature our LS will continue to amaze and engage our students to do great things and more importantly become kind and generous citizens. I have said to many parents that ask about our US, the guidance and dedicated partnership your family receives from the College Counseling Department in 9th-12th grade is well worth the investment of tuition. If you are looking for a positive, challenging and well rounded environment for your children, I hope you will visit Hammond. It was the best decision our family has ever made and we have three kids that agree.

My daughter finished Kindergarten here and will be going into 1st grade and I very highly approve of what I've seen here at OPS. Great teachers, food menus, facilities, and programs! OPS is for K & 1st only, then the kids go to High Hills for 2nd & 3rd, Shaw Heights for 4th & 5th, then out to Hillcrest for middle school. I think it's actually brilliant to seperate them like that so they can focus on learning and having fun without the pressures of older kids.
