The GOP legislature is planning to choke the life out of public education, and you need to know what’s happening. Watch Gov. Cooper's special address on public education.

Students from Northview, Grandview, Hickory High & Hickory Career & Arts Magnet traveled to the NCCTM State Math Contest for Level 1 (Math 1) and Comprehensive (above Math 3) at Appalachian State University. Two students qualified for the State Finals! #HPSMovingForwardTogether

Who knew that solving equations could be so much fun?! Ms. Kauffman's Math 1 class had a Fun Friday completing a scavenger hunt! #mathrocks @hickoryschools @HawksNvw @lirpa1966

Please consider donating a novel to my classroom! I want to try to provide more variety in choices as well as spark and cultivate their enjoyment for reading! #clearthelist

Mr. Osteen's class used their knowledge of statistics to collect and analyze data! Question: How high can a 6th grader jump (and hit the door frame)? @HawksNvw @hickoryschools #middleschoolfun #mathrocks

Ms. Guernsey and her 8th grade Science students at Northview used their critical thinking skills and their knowledge about energy to "break out" and save the world! @hickoryschools @HawksNvw @breakoutEDU

Thank you to the Nu Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma! I was awarded a grant to buy 2 more Breakout boxes and a year's subscription to their digital resources. Students at Grandview and Northview will be able to benefit from this AMAZING opportunity! @DeltaKappaGamma @hickoryschools

School starts soon! I want to provide books for my students - not pdf versions to read on a screen, but a real book to hold and get lost in the world of words and imagination.
Please consider donating one or a few titles to my classroom!
