Each fall, more than 2,000 young men and women have the opportunity to attend David H. Hickman High School. Hickman is the largest high school in the state of Missouri, a comprehensive high school where each individual has diverse opportunities. As an alum of Hickman, a former teacher here, and now the principal as well as a parent of graduate, I have a real sense of investment in our school. I hope you will develop an appreciation of the wonderful set of opportunities this school community offers every student. Several years ago, students, staff, and parents developed a mission statement for our school.
Every student has the opportunity to excel in academics, the fine arts, and athletics.
Hickman believes that all students benefit from developing excellent skills in different areas. Students who make the commitment to attend school every day, do their work, and behave in a mature manner learn to demonstrate personal integrity and responsibility. Our school community is a diverse place made up of students with differing beliefs, hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Learn from these opportunities and expand your view of the world. It is hoped that each Hickman student also gives something back to this school and to the community.
