It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome our students, staff, and families to the 2025–2026 school year! This year marks a significant period of reflection and growth for the Hampstead School District as we engage in a year of self-study to guide the development of our next Strategic Plan. This process will allow us to thoughtfully examine our strengths, identify opportunities for improvement, and chart a clear course for the future of our schools.

While we look ahead, our commitment to our core values remains unwavering:

  • Communicate with Positive Intent

  • Honor the Child

  • Relationship and Team Building

  • Act with Integrity

  • Culture of Collaboration

These values continue to serve as the foundation for every decision we make and every interaction we have. They remind us that the heart of our work is always centered on students, their learning, their growth, and their well-being.

We recognize that this is also a time of rapid change in public education. Our administrative team and school board are working tirelessly to navigate new legislation, executive orders, and funding challenges from both the state and federal levels. Despite these evolving circumstances, our commitment to our students and families has never been stronger. We remain dedicated to providing safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments where all students feel valued and empowered to reach their fullest potential.

As we move through this year of reflection and renewal, we invite our community to join us on this journey. Together, we will ensure that Hampstead continues to thrive as a student-centered district, one that honors its traditions while embracing innovation and continuous improvement.

We look forward to another year of collaboration, learning, and shared success.
