More about Schools

The Schools Committee has a new focus on arts and fitness in our neighborhood schools, with the establishment of the Friends of Hyde Park-Kenwood Public Schools, a subcommittee of the Schools Committee. This group of parents and community members has come together in order to help strengthen Hyde Park-Kenwood public schools by collaborating, sharing best practices, resources and knowledge; and fund-raising to improve Arts and Physical Fitness programming.

The Schools Committee and the Friends concern themselves with Kozminski, Shoesmith, Ray, Bret Harte, Murray, Canter, Reavis, Price, and Robinson elementary schools, and Kenwood Academy and Dyett High School. The subcom-mittee includes representatives from most schools, but representation is sought from parents or community members interested in Canter, Reavis, Price, Robinson and Dyett. 

The co-chairs of the Friends are Josephine Sanders and Joy Clendenning. They will report to the HPKCC Board through the Schools Committee (chairs Nancy Baum and Camille Hamilton-Doyle). For more information, contact the Conference office, hpkcc@aol.com
