Our Hicks Homecoming was a huge success today filled with raffles, Ring Pops for all in attendance and culminating with the crowning of our new Prince and Princess, Tavon and Ava at the Pep Rally assembly! We even were treated a special Homecoming routine by our cheerleaders! The entire Homecoming Court conducted themselves with class, grace and pride! Plus with all of your help the percentage of absent students was only 5%. What a great day to be a Hawk! We love our kids and all the fun we had today with them!

Why the House system?

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

You may have heard that in the lunch room that the students sit in houses. The house system is similar to what is used in the Harry Potter series along with in real life at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta. This system encourages positive behavior, builds confidence, and motivates students to support one another. House events, chants, and celebrations bring energy and unity to the entire school. Students feel seen, valued, and empowered to grow into the best version of themselves. Overall, the House System transforms the school environment into one that is vibrant, inclusive, and purpose-driven. Through healthy competition, students earn points for demonstrating excellence in academics, behavior, and leadership.

Parking Lot Expectations

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Safety is our number 1 priority in the parking lot. Please adhere to these expectations so the parking lot can be as safe as possible. Please pack your patience and don't speed, We have had several close calls. We value your time and have tried to make arrival and dismissal as expedient as possible.

Cars should pull into the outside lane (closest to school) to pick up kids, and once they pick up their kid, pull to the left (inside lane) to leave. Please see image below.

Please do not park in the fire lane - which means do not get out of your car. The fire lane is the entire front loop.

Pull as close as possible to the curb when picking up a student. Students shouldn't be running in front of a line of traffic to get to their car.

When you have your kids, pull into the left lane.

When exiting, if you're in the right lane when you get to the exit, go right. If you're in the left lane, go left. There have been several near accidents at the exit.

Teach kids to get into the car on the passenger side so they’re not crossing behind or in front of other cars.

Please also ask kids to get into the car as quickly as possible.
