Please join us in welcoming Jared Swiger as the new Director of Transportation for Hastings Area School System! Jared brings a blend of transportation experience, business leadership, and operational expertise to our district. We’re thrilled to have him.
We're also very thankful for the job done by Dale Krueger, who now has the opportunity to focus all his attention on buildings, grounds and facilities!

Last week, we celebrated a successful three weeks of innovation and creativity by welcoming parents to our Coding Camp finale.

Students demonstrated the projects they’ve worked so diligently on, including stop-motion videos, video games, and engineered cardboard games. They even capped off the celebration with some popsicles! Great work this summer!

Our English Language Learners are having the best time at our Book and Cook Camp! By combining entertaining stories with culinary adventures, students aren't just learning new recipes, they're building confidence and practicing vocabulary. Looks delicious!
