Nathan Hale School has a staff that is absolutely incredible. The work and dedication they are giving to our community is immeasurable.


Posted May 7, 2008

My son went to this school from Hindergarten thru 2nd grade and we had a very good experience. All his class teachers were very nice - diligent , very knowledgeable and created a very nurturing environment for the kids.

My granddaughter goes to Nathan Hale. I find this school has the best elementary teachers anywhere. They're very aware of what is happening around them and their(teachers) give credit to the students that really deserve it. I find, that the teachers make school interesting and that helps children want to learn.There is alot of opportunities for parents to take part in their childs school. I have listened closely to how the adults speak to the students, and they don't speak 'down' to them, but they speak at them.
