Principal's Message

Hello Hawks,

Welcome to the Hamilton Elementary School website! I hope you find this resource useful for learning more about all things Hamilton. My name is Dr. David Recker, and I am the proud principal of Hamilton Elementary School. Hamilton is comprised of curious students, supportive families, and dedicated teachers. Together, we make an exceptional school community for students to grow within.

In addition to the robust academic education our students receive, our school proactively teaches character values. As Martin Luther King, Jr. best said it, “Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.” At Hamilton our school community strives to live into the character values of responsibility, resiliency, empathy, and integrity each day.

I eagerly await meeting our newest Kindergarten students and welcoming back our existing Hawks. It’s going to be a great year!

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions—the door is always open!

Go Hamilton Hawks!

David Recker
Principal, Hamilton Elementary School
