Hawthorne Elementary

We do it in Spanish too! At Hawthorne Elementary, it is our vision that every student will develop into a globally and culturally competent learner. Our mission is that we will cultivate learning experiences in a dual-language environment that will prepare our students to be biliterate, bicultural, and bilingual. We ensure this success with high levels of learning, recognizing and valuing differences in our classrooms through a multicultural educational experience, and partnering with families and the community.
