The Hackensack Public School District is comprised of six schools with over 5000 students enrolled. Our goal is to meet the needs of each individual student in grades pre-Kindergarten through 12 with a curriculum that is aligned with the Common Core Standards. We concur with Abigail Adams (1744-1818) who said, “Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” We endeavor to prepare our students for challenges facing them now and in their futures. Achieving these important goals requires the cooperation of staff, parents, and students. A spirit of understanding and goodwill along with a meaningful and multicultural approach are essential ingredients for successful school experiences.

Our schools strive to create and promote a positive and productive relationship between the home and school. Bulletins, regular conferences, concerts, dramatic productions, athletic and many other school events are all part of the effort to involve families in the educational process. Parents and teachers work together to continue our proud tradition of academic excellence.
