Welcome to Hamilton City Schools!

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as Superintendent of Hamilton City Schools and to welcome you to another exciting school year. Every day, I have the opportunity to witness the incredible dedication of our students, staff, families, and community. Together, we are creating something truly special.

This year, our district theme is "We Build This City: Every Student. Every Staff. Every Day." While the phrase is certainly fun and memorable, it also represents the heart of who we are. Building a great school district doesn't happen overnight, and it isn't the work of one person. It takes every student striving to learn, every staff member committed to excellence, every family supporting their children, and every community partner investing in our future. Together, we are building a stronger Hamilton—one student, one relationship, and one opportunity at a time.

With more than 8,300 students, Hamilton City Schools is proud to be one of the largest school districts in Ohio. Our size provides incredible opportunities while allowing us to maintain a strong sense of community and belonging. We are committed to ensuring every student has access to outstanding academics, extracurricular opportunities, fine arts, athletics, career pathways, and the support they need to reach their full potential.

My journey in education began more than two decades ago as a middle school teacher. Since then, I have been fortunate to serve as a principal, district administrator, and Associate Superintendent before becoming Superintendent of Hamilton City Schools. Each experience has strengthened my belief that education changes lives. As a first-generation college graduate, I know firsthand the doors that education can open, and I remain deeply committed to ensuring every student has the opportunity to discover their own path to success.

My leadership philosophy continues to center on collaboration, trust, and service. The strongest organizations are built on meaningful relationships, open communication, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement. Our dedicated educators and staff work tirelessly to create learning environments where students feel safe, supported, challenged, and inspired. They are the foundation upon which our district is built.

Like any construction project, building something great requires vision, perseverance, and teamwork. Over the past year, our district has faced challenges that required difficult decisions and tremendous resilience. Through it all, our staff, families, Board of Education, and community demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our students. Because of that commitment, Hamilton City Schools continues to move forward with confidence, purpose, and optimism.

Outside of work, my husband, Curtis, and I enjoy raising our two teenagers, Matthew and Emma, while keeping up with their many academic, athletic, and extracurricular activities. Whether attending school events, community celebrations, or simply running errands around town, I treasure the relationships that make Hamilton such a special place.

As Superintendent, my vision remains clear: to make Hamilton City Schools a destination district where every student thrives academically, socially, emotionally, and personally. We will continue building upon our strengths while embracing innovation, fostering meaningful partnerships, and creating opportunities that prepare every student for success beyond graduation.

Thank you for your continued trust and support of Hamilton City Schools. My door is always open, and I encourage you to reach out, introduce yourself, or stop and say hello whenever our paths cross. Together, we will continue building a district—and a community—that our students deserve.

Because together, We Build This City: Every Student. Every Staff. Every Day.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Andrea Blevins

Superintendent, Hamilton City Schools
