Parent Academy

The Harford County Public Schools Parent Academy is an exciting new resource for all HCPS families! The Parent Academy will include a series of workshops designed to engage HCPS parents/guardians as partners in their children's education, and will work to provide useful information and resources needed to help their children succeed in school and in the community. The goal is to connect families, school system staff, and community stakeholders in meaningful partnerships that will help increase student achievement and support wellbeing.

Three Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) principals, along with school-based Student Support Services staff and several Harford County partners, planned a successful event on March 3 at the Homes at Fountain Green to welcome and connect with families new to the community.

Mr. Brad Stinar, principal of Hickory Elementary School, Mr. Chas Hagan, principal of Southampton Middle School, and Ms. Erica Harris, principal of C. Milton Wright High School, recognize the importance of community engagement and work every day to seek partnerships and build relationships that will help support their students and their families.

Hickory Elementary Principal Brad Stinar would like to give a special thank you to Tina Bland, Hickory's school counselor, and Angela Gottesfeld, Hickory's school nurse, for their work behind the scenes to make this event a success: "Tonight's family event would not have been possible without Tina and Angela and their collective efforts, kudos and thank you to them both."

HCPS also thanks the following partners who joined our three schools in welcoming the new families during the event.
