Dear HCST Community,

As we embark on a new school year, I want to extend a warm WELCOME BACK to our students, families, faculty, staff, and community partners. Our district mission—to be an innovative, collaborative, and diverse community that empowers lifelong learning and educates students for careers—remains at the heart of everything we do.

We are grateful to the Hudson County Executive, Commissioners, and our HCST School Board for their support, enabling HCST to build strong educational roots while guiding students toward career paths. Their commitment, along with our dedicated administration and staff, allowed us to offer weeks of engaging summer programming—keeping our students connected, inspired, and prepared for the year ahead. Additionally, we made improvements to our personnel teams, facilities, and technology, ensuring our students have the necessary resources.

We hope you enjoy reading about our Summer Highlights. I am enthusiastic to continue our collaboration, guiding our students toward success for the 24/25 School Year and beyond.

Warm regards,
Superintendent
Amy Lin-Rodriguez
