✨ A Message from Our Incoming Principal
Dear Hunt Middle School Students and Families,
As summer begins, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share how excited I am to be joining Hunt as your next principal.
I am honored to have the opportunity to serve your amazing school community! I am already looking forward to getting to know the students, families, and staff who make Hunt such a special place. Congratulations and best wishes to all of the 8th graders as they move on!
Over the summer, I will be spending time learning from staff, meeting families, and getting to know the traditions and strengths that make Hunt unique. I am excited to partner with you as we continue supporting every student to learn and thrive in middle school. I’m not usually this excited for September to come in June!
Until then, I hope you enjoy a safe, fun-filled summer. I can’t wait to meet you in the months ahead. Go Thunder!
Warmly,
Ruth Schlattmann
