Superintendent Letter

Dear ESD Families,

On Monday, August 19, 2024, we will open our doors to welcome nearly 9,000 students to the 2024-25 school year. The first day of school marks a milestone for students and parents alike. For some, it is the first day of kindergarten and for others, it is the first day of 8th grade. No matter where our children are on their learning journey in the Evergreen School District (ESD), it is my commitment to you to provide an environment that is challenging, supportive, safe, and inspirational.

All of our elementary and middle schools take a personalized approach to aiding students become lifelong learners. With genuine care and commitment, students are greeted by name. All of our students have the opportunity to participate in distinguished educational programs as we work to serve the aspirations of all students. I firmly believe that a team approach to learning that includes teachers, families, and classified staff supporting students is key to our young scholar’s success.

ESD is one of the best school districts in Santa Clara County. We offer all the opportunities and amenities of a large district while maintaining a personal touch and feel. Our recognized “California Distinguished Schools” along with the excellent educational practices is a shining example of the hard work and dedication of our staff to your children. While we are proud of our accomplishments, we consistently look for ways to do things better.

I, along with our dedicated team, are excited to be a part of partnering with you this school year and I look forward to seeing all that we accomplish for our students!

Take care,

Dr. Antoine Hawkins
Superintendent,
Evergreen School District
