Hughes is a small district, but they are doing some things right. They are working very hard to prepare our children for the next stage of education. Overall, parent involvement lacks. There are many extracurricular activities. Hughes Elementary offers 6th grade band, Gifted and Talented program and an after school program for every grade.
