Bessie L. Baggett Elementary School

As a parent, I love Hiram elementary. They are focus on my son’s development in a kind and loving environment.

As a parent of a Kindergarten & 2nd Grade student at Panter, we absolutely love the school. The teachers have been fantastic through our experience; inviting, friendly, engaging with students, caring and informative with parents on what is being taught. The entire staff has been great. Our entire family thinks the world of Ms. Smith the principal. My boys consider her a friend and feel comfortable talking to her in the halls, that makes my Momma's heart happy. She is always friendly and has an open door policy to parents. The staff is always open to questions and conversations, the school feels warm and friendly. My boys are learning a lot and we love our Panter family.

Our family loves Praise Academy! This is our 6th year and have no plans of leaving. No school is perfect, however I feel like admin addresses all issues they are made aware of. I love the approach the current admin is taking compared to the previous admin. My children have found lifetime friendships at Praise. I love the family atmosphere and willingness from staff and other Praise families to help each other. Being able to drop my children off every morning and not worry about them is priceless. If you’re on the fence in choosing a school please visit Praise/set up a shadow day. I’m positive your children will love it!

All of our children have had an exceptionally positive and productive experience at Hal Hutchens. The staff is motivated, upbeat, passionate, and engaged.
