SPED Paraprofessionals

Hamilton High’s SPED Paraprofessionals are a highly trained, extremely capable and conscientious group of educators who go above and beyond in service of our special education students. Our SPED Paraprofessionals work directly with staff and students to ensure that our special education students receive the attention and services needed to ensure an education that is positive and productive.
