It is both an honor and a joy to serve as the principal of a school community rooted in curiosity, care, and a deep respect for our world. At Hawley Environmental School, we believe that every child deserves to feel valued, supported, and challenged—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our school is more than a building; it is an ecosystem. Students, families, staff, and community partners work together to create an environment where learning is meaningful, relationships are strong, and every student is encouraged to grow into a confident, capable learner. Through engaging instruction, environmental education, and a focus on literacy, critical thinking, and social-emotional development, we strive to meet each child where they are and help them reach their fullest potential.

We hold high expectations while leading with compassion. Our dedicated staff is committed to continuous improvement, collaboration, and creating classrooms where students feel safe, respected, and inspired to learn. We also value strong partnerships with families and believe that open communication and shared responsibility are essential to student success.

Thank you for being a part of the Hawley Hawk family. Together, through our daily actions, we can change the world.

Warmly,

Cynthia Bush
Principal, Hawley Environmental School
