Proud of our Hermitage Boys Basketball team for an outstanding performance at the Westside Christian Tournament! The Hermits battled hard and came up just short in a close championship game against Claiborne Academy, finishing 47–49. Great effort, teamwork, and determination all tournament long. Keep working, Hermits — big things ahead! ❤️🖤

Gregory Hilliard’s 10th-grade biology students have been demonstrating their understanding of biomes and the impact of human activities on climate and ecosystems through these creative, hands-on projects. From rainforests to marine ecosystems, students showcased both scientific knowledge and imagination as they brought learning to life.

Great work by our students for thinking critically about the world around them—and thank you, Mr. Hilliard, for fostering such engaging, meaningful learning experiences! 👏🔬📚

Elementary K-6 Culture Survey Results are in!

Thank you to all K-6 families who completed the K–6 Elementary Weekly Scoop Parent Edition Survey. Surveys were made available in the 2025 October and November Weekly Scoop editions, and results were shared with parents on Monday, December 8, 2025.

We are pleased to report that key focus areas showed notable improvement. Feedback indicated decreased concerns in several areas, including staff input, students respecting others, and teachers knowing students outside of class. These results reflect the continued commitment of our staff and students to foster a supportive, respectful, and connected school environment. Thank you Elementary, results are in!

We sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to share their feedback. Your input is essential in guiding our ongoing efforts.

Additional surveys for staff, families/parents/guardians, and students will be available during Parent–Teacher Conferences in February 2026.

Thank you,
Hermitage School District
