Mrs. Amy Gee will be leaving the district to pursue a new opportunity. Her last day with the district will be May 17, 2024. We extend our best wishes for her success in her future endeavors and express our gratitude for the positive impact she has had on Hicks Elementary School.
We are fortunate to have Matt Furca, currently the assistant principal at Wildwood Elementary School, assume the role of interim principal at Hicks until the end of the school year. Mr. Furca has been a devoted member of the district, serving the students, staff, and community for many years.
We greatly appreciate your understanding and support during this transition. Thank you for your continued dedication to the success of our students and the community of Hicks Elementary School.
Sincerely,
John Dignan, Ed.D.
