Hall-Kent Elementary is a public school in the Homewood City School district. Established in 1887, the school enrolls students from preschool through fifth grade. The school’s diverse culture serves to help enhance learning, tolerance and appreciation of differences. Its vision is to provide an inclusive and joyful environment using innovative instructional practices.
Teachers at Hall-Kent use personalized methods to help students achieve high goals while providing academic, social and behavioral support. In 2019, Hall-Kent Elementary established the Junior Patriot Pride House System to set schoolwide expectations of being responsible, respectful and safe. This model provides a sense of belonging for all students and promotes stable relationships between students and teachers. In 2018, a special faculty member joined the staff. Maize, a black terrier mix, serves as the school’s facility dog and helps to promote a positive learning environment.
In 2021, Hall-Kent became one of five schools in Alabama to be named a National Blue Ribbon School by the United States Department of Education. This is a prestigious award that exemplifies excellence in education.
