Hamilton Connects announces presentations offering community support 

Hamilton Connects is a long-standing program created to connect, educate and support families within the Hamilton School District through free evening presentations and valuable resources. These presentations have been offered to families and community members for more than 20 years and are held at different school buildings throughout the school year. 

The list of 2026-27 presentations covers a wide range of topics such as teen depression, suicide prevention, the cost of college, dangers of vaping and anxiety in adolescence.   

“Being a parent is often considered one of the most challenging roles in life, requiring immense dedication, patience and constant learning,” shares Hamilton High School Counselor and Hamilton Connects Coordinator Kristin Hasbrook. “In today’s fast-paced world, raising children comes with its own set of complexities and uncertainties. We are very proud to continue offering these resources and valuable information to families at no cost.”
