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 by taking responsibility for high levels of learning, recognizing and valuing differences in our classrooms through a multicultural educational experience, and partnering with families and the community.
