Principal's Message

Dear Class of 2029 Families,

My name is Jesse Funston and I am your Principal of the Hamilton High School Freshman Campus. As a graduate of the Hamilton High School and having spent the past 13 years as both a teacher and administrator in the district, I am proud to continue serving a community that means so much to me.

The Freshman Campus holds a unique and powerful place in the high school experience. It is a foundational year — a time when students take a major step forward in their academic and personal journeys. Our mission here is to ensure that every student is supported, challenged, and equipped with the skills they need not just for high school success, but for the years that follow.

At the Freshman Campus, we believe in the power of connection between students and staff, school and family, learning and life. Through our dynamic house system, strong instructional teams, and a culture rooted in belonging and high expectations, we are committed to creating an environment where every student feels seen, valued, and prepared to thrive.

As principal, I look forward to partnering with you to make this freshman year one of growth, discovery, and momentum. Together, let’s empower our students to rise to the challenges ahead and celebrate their accomplishments along the way.

Here’s to an incredible year and to the future of Big Blue.

Jesse Funston
Principal
