New Principal Named at HCMS

Dear Parents, Teachers, and Friends of HCMS,

It is with great pride that I accept the position of Principal of Hancock County Middle School. I want to thank God, Mr. Lewis, the SBDM Council, Mrs. Biever, the students, faculty and staff of HCMS and my family both immediate and extended. As the former assistant principal of HCMS I can truly say that this place is home. For eight years Mrs. Biever and I have collaborated and planned to ensure student success. I am proud to be working with the best parents, faculty, staff and community members in the state of Kentucky. This is indeed an honor and a privilege that I do not accept lightly.

We have high expectations at HCMS for ourselves and our students. The number one goal is student success academically, emotionally, behaviorally, and socially. I am committed to working diligently with parents and faculty to continue to foster an atmosphere that promotes a learning community characterized by child centered instruction and decisions, academic excellence, trust, respect, community involvement, excellent communications and recognition of both student and staff achievement. I want each of you to know that I have an open door policy and you are free to stop by, email or call me at anytime. My email address is diane.hatchett@hancock.kyschools.us. You can also follow me on twitter at nonsmonsters. I look forward to working with each of you during the years to come. I am honored to be at HCMS.

Sincerely,

Dr. Hatchett
