Hello, Stonehurst Hills Elementary School Families!  Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!  I hope that your summer was joy-filled, restful, and full of new experiences.  We’re bubbling with energy and excitement as we anticipate the start of another year! 

My name is Ernest Patrick, Assistant Principal (and biggest fan!) of Stonehurst Hills Elementary School.  If you’d like to know a little more about my amazing journey to Stonehurst, click here.  Although I’m a new face, I promise to bring a very warm welcome!  My job at Stonehurst is simple and simply stated: I’m here to make sure that every student is having their best day, every. single. day. Period.  Everything else falls into place when there is a relentless and intentional focus on your child’s well-being. So, if you know anything about me and the kind of environment I work hard to cultivate, you can expect your child to arrive each morning to a place where they feel safe, happy, and eager and able to learn.

I’m excited for the opportunity to build and bond our Stonehurst family alongside Principal, Mr. Desmond Chisholm. I’ve learned tons from him already, and I can see that his love and passion for children almost rivals mine! :-)  It is a pleasure to support Mr. Chisholm as he continues the important work of making Stonehurst a place where both students and staff love to be. Our students will be challenged to grow this year, but they will also be loved and supported in that growth. I can’t wait!  We’ll see you in the fall!

Regards,
Ernest Patrick
