District

The staff of Hammond Central School is committed to building each student's self-esteem, love for learning, self-reliance and academic, physical, and artistic skills. We believe that all students can learn. The example set by our staff and the consistent reinforcement of our standards in nurturing our students will demonstrate this. We assume responsibility for inspiring our students with the confidence they need to meet the challenges of the future.
