Thank you, Aimee and Mike!
This week was assistant principal's week. Mike and Aimee have done a ton of work throughout the year to help this school run as smoothly as possible, and support students and staff. If you get a moment, please take the time to thank Mike and Aimee for all that they've done for Hixson!
Note from a parent
Please see the very lovely note from a parent below.
Dr. Mayes,
I hope things are going well for you. My name is
Joshua Brinkley and my daughter, Hollye, is a current 8th grader at
Hixson. I just wanted to say thank you to you and your staff for
everything you do each and every day to keep our kiddos safe while also
providing them with a first class educational experience in the midst of such a
challenging time. The past year has not been easy for anyone, but you all
have gone above and beyond for the students and parents of Hixson. Keep up the amazing work and know that my family and I truly appreciate
you!
