Happy School Principal Appreciation Day to HAES incredible leader, Dr. Kalee Hill!
Today, we celebrate you not just for all you do — but for who you are.
You lead with compassion, strength, and a deep belief in every student and staff member. Your dedication, vision, and love for our school community make a difference in more ways than we can count.
This year, we gifted you the book You Matter — because you truly do.
To every child. To every teacher. To every family.
You matter, Dr. Hill — more than words can express.
Thank you for being the heart of Hallsboro-Artesia Elementary.
We love and appreciate you!
