9/22/2018 The September luncheon meeting of the Northern Hamilton County Chamber of Commerce, conducted at the high school’s Anthony “Tony” Cook Media Center, featured a behind-the-scenes look at how Hamilton Heights School Corporation is transforming its learning environment, creating more opportunities for student achievement, and how the collaboration between the corporation and community engagement impacts student success.
