Greetings Parents/Guardians and Students,

My name is Alison Bruening-Hamati, and I am so excited to be joining the Hohokam Middle School community. This is my fifth year with the Coolidge Unified School District. Prior to coming to Coolidge, I was a middle school teacher. During the last five years, I have been an assistant principal at Mountain Vista Middle School and San Tan Foothills High School. Most recently, I have held the position of director of curriculum and instruction for the Coolidge Unified School District. I received my undergraduate degree in education from the University of Arizona and my master’s degree in administration and supervision from the University of Phoenix.

It is my vision to create a safe and positive environment for our students, with a strong emphasis on student success. I am pleased to be working with such a dedicated faculty and staff. We will continue building a culture that does not tolerate bullying, inappropriate behavior, or drugs. In the next few weeks, I will be developing specific plans to address these issues, and you will be hearing about them in newsletters and, hopefully from your children. All children deserve to have a safe environment to grow socially, emotionally, and academically. I am committed to making Hohokam Middle School and outstanding, effective school where students have fun while developing positive character traits and 21st Century skills for success in high school and beyond.

Sincerely,

Alison Bruening-Hamati
Principal
