Principal's Message

Dear Nighthawk Family,
 
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. We are excited to open our school doors and look forward to getting Back to Better. Our faculty has been busy planning standards-based lessons and activities for a smooth transition back to campus. Our focus is to provide the best learning experience possible while attending to the social emotional needs of all of our students. We understand the toll  that the pandemic took on our students and their families, and we are committed to providing the necessary support to make sure that all of our students are college and career ready. 
I know that the road Back to Better may seem uncertain, but with the support of our Nightingale parents and community members, we will get through this. Together we are stronger than ever. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve you and I am looking forward to an amazing school year. 
 
Sincerely,
 
Taneda Hailey, Principal
