What Essexville-Hampton Public Schools does

Essexville-Hampton Public Schools is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 303 Pine Street in Essexville, Michigan, organized as a government state entity under the authority of the State of Michigan and governed by a locally elected Board of Education. The district operates four schools — Garber High School (grades 9-12), Cramer Junior High (grades 6-8), Verellen Elementary, and Bush Elementary — and serves resident students of the Essexville-Hampton community. Its primary customer segment is K-12 students within the district's geographic service area; a secondary use case is early childhood education (preschool and daycare) delivered from the Bush Elementary campus. The district is led by Superintendent Dr. Davion R. Lewis with a director-level team covering curriculum, personnel, facilities/transportation, business/finance, and communications/technology.

The district's technology stack centers on three vendor relationships: Skyward as the student information system for gradebook, attendance, and records; Apptegy as the content management platform powering the district website and each school's web presence; and Google Workspace for instructional use (including the Classroom Connect grade-tracking program at Cramer Junior High). The signature in-house technology initiative is a 1:1 Chromebook program providing every K-12 student a personal Chromebook, paired with iOS and Android mobile apps, an athletics calendar, and a unified enrollment portal. Extracurricular surface area includes a Garber High School athletic program with 25+ sanctioned sports and a published Portrait of a Graduate framework (Explorer, Emotionally Intelligent, Collaborator, Scholar, Achiever) reinforced by the Duke Values character program.
