Greetings!
My name is Todd Williams and I am the newly appointed principal at Hamilton eMints Academy and Community Education Center.
I am thrilled to be a new member of the Skinker-Debaliviere community. You should be proud to know your fearless leader, Darcel Braylock actually took part in my selection as principal..and she has been my biggest supporter ever since.
I am proud to serve as the leader of your community school. Hamilton, as most of you know, is rich with tradition and history.
Some of our St. Louis’ most influential leaders have graced the halls of Hamilton during the past ninety-four years.
In fact, many of you reading this article can remember spending your elementary years at Hamilton and know quite well the greatness that was birthed in that unique and majestic building. Hamilton has greatness built in and through it.
It has never left.
During the 2008-2009 school year, Hamilton will serve over 350 preschool through fifth grade students and over 200 families in the St. Louis Public School District. Our goal is simple..for every student to read at grade level, be proficient in mathematics and communication arts, and be productive, active learners in the our society.
The same goals, minimally, that all parents have for their children. Our goal cannot happen without the support of staff, parents, and community residents working together to prepare and strengthen young minds for the future.
As we work toward the fulfillment of this goal, I extend myself to you for your support.
In return, I offer experience, enthusiasm, and can-do attitude to assist in any way I can to your efforts in maintaining the excellent reputation and standard of living that you have earned in the SkinkerDebaliviere community.
Please feel at liberty to visit Hamilton, as many of you have, and see how we are striving to become the best choice in urban education.
I hope to see all of you soon! “…Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” -Marianne Williamson
