As we hurdle toward spring, the building is buzzing with energy, and I want to share
some of the amazing things happening around us!
First, a round of applause for our award-winning Lego Robotics team. Their creativity
and teamwork at recent competitions have made us all so proud. Way to go,
engineers!
Speaking of teams, our boys and girls basketball teams, the Hornets, are in full swing,
showing incredible sportsmanship and skill on the court. If you haven’t made it to a
game yet, come cheer on our Hornets in Newstead Gym-the atmosphere is fantastic!
I also want to send a huge thank you to everyone who made our Family Academic
Night celebrating HBCU excellence and culture such an incredible success. It was a
powerful evening of learning, history, and community pride, and I am so grateful to
everyone who participated.
Finally, a huge thank you to our partners at Baltimore City College for hosting
International Night right here at Hampstead Hill Academy. It was a wonderful
celebration of the rich diversity within our community, and we are happy to be able
to host events that bring us all together.
Warmly,
Matt Hornbeck
Principal
