April Hayes, Assistant Principal

Hi Hidden River Students and Families,

I'm excited for the 2024-2025 school year. This is my fourth year as Assistant Principal at Hidden River, I am one of two Assistant Principals, and I will be mainly working with 7th grade students and 8th grade students' last names A-L. One thing I really enjoy about Hidden River is that it offers a variety of programs and activities for students. 

This will be my 11th year in SPPS, I have served as a PE & Health teacher, MYP Coordinator, Athletic Director and Head Varsity Basketball coach. 

I look forward to working with you and your students this year! 

GO Otters!
