A Note From Mrs. Misch...
Millard Hawk Primary School is a pre-kindergarten through second grade building with about 475 students. We are located on the Central Square campus along with our sister school, Central Square Intermediate School, and Paul V. Moore High School.
We offer a challenging academic program with curriculum in all core areas aligned with the New York State Standards. Classes are taught and services provided by well-qualified, highly motivated staff. Enhancing our academic program is our Character Education initiative that was instituted with the opening of the school. We are recognized as a National School of Character and a Promising Practices Award Winner by the Character Education Partnership in Washington, DC.
At Millard Hawk, parents and staff work together to promote learning and make this school a great place to be!
Millard Hawk Primary School opened in September 1993. For many years prior to that time our school was a junior high for seventh and eighth graders. As a result of widespread over-crowding, the Central Square Central School District decided to build a new middle school, and then had to consider how to restructure Millard Hawk and its sister school, Central Square Elementary. To do this, a team of administrators, teachers, and parents visited primary and intermediate schools in other districts. This group's job in 1988 was to recommend to the Board of Education whether we should have two Kindergarten through grade 5 buildings on the same campus or have separate primary and intermediate schools. When the committee recommended a K-2 and 3-5 configuration, the Board of Education approved the plan. The schools were named Millard Hawk Primary School and Central Square Intermediate School.
Central Square's other elementary schools were redistricted for the 1993-1994 school year, following the opening of Central Square Middle School in January 1993. The redistricting process brought to Millard Hawk new families, staff members, supplies, books, furniture, and equipment from the other elementary schools. This redistribution of students in the district eased enrollment concerns in all elementary buildings. It also brought many challenges to the Millard Hawk Primary School staff as we sought to get acquainted with each other, our new school, and our new families. The Millard Hawk faculty, staff and community met each challenge and came together as a family. With this project was the beginning of our Character Education initiative and the journey to becoming a National School of Character. We continue to eagerly face the challenges of each new year.
