What the future may hold... Hatrick Elementary?


Hatrick Elementary... a future possibility?

I want to focus today not on the past, but on the future, and on the hard-working superintendent our school system has.


It's a job that you have to be passionate about. Here's a great peek into the day-to-day life of Dr. Hatrick:

Apparently, from the documentary, Hatrick gets less than seven hours of sleep. More power to him for getting to work with a smile on his face.


For a long time, school naming committees had a rule about not naming school buildings after people. Since John W. Tolbert Elementary School opened in 2001, there has been an increase in schools named after people again. 

In 1967, Emerick Elementary School opened up, named in honor of retired Superintendent Oscar L. Emerick. Could we see another superintendent school in the future? I can see it now: Hatrick Elementary ... Home of the Magicians! Bad pun...

I'll cover naming schools in a future post.

(Yes, the whole article was for that pun. The Hatrick Elementary School picture is actually a photoshopped under-construction Frederick Douglass Elementary School)
