Our favorite Hammond memories:

• "​Some of my favorite Hammond memories were in 6th and 7th grade. In 6th, the bond the whole classroom had with each other and the time we would joke around were the best memories. I still remember the time some of us mad a whole choreography for the Christmas Assembly in less than a day, and it turned out better in the assembly than the time we practiced in the classroom. 7th grade was the best basketball season. The 7th/8th grade team took the "W" for Hammond and made history! Moments like these are moments I won't forget." - Alexia Torres
• "The field trips, parties, movies, free time pizza parties, and when the kids made us laugh and the teachers too." - Joana Olvera-Antunez
• "My favorite Hammond memories are having fun with friends during recess and during class. But my most favorite memories is playing in the gym." - Fernando Sanchez
• "Boys and Girls club with Ms. Alamo also school trips and events." - Shoniya Ross

• "To meet people that I didn't know existed." - Kitsia Crisostomo
• "Spirit Week" - Liliany Arroyo
