Howard Connect Academy

Please join us in congratulating Ms. Alison Craig, a Hamilton County Schools Hero Award recipient, sponsored by the HCS Foundation! 💙

Ms. Craig’s impact at Howard Connect Academy is truly extraordinary. She builds deep, authentic relationships with students and families rooted in trust, care, and high expectations. As a true Warm Demander, she ensures students are supported both academically in ELA & Connections and holistically by running our Care Closet, providing daily snacks, and responding to family needs so no student falls through the cracks.

Throughout Howard Connect’s phase-out, Ms. Craig continues to model service leadership. She does this thorugh mentoring future educators, leading RTI efforts, supporting attendance and truancy needs, and always stepping up wherever support is needed. All this while leading our House of Love & Joy with heart and purpose!

Ms. Craig will be honored by the HCS Foundation with a celebratory luncheon and a $500 award in recognition of her incredible impact.

💐 Congratulations, Ms. Craig! We are so proud to celebrate you as an HCS Hero. 👏
