Hinton Elementary School

What Hinton Elementary School does

Hinton Community School District (HCSD) is a public K-12 school district serving the Hinton, Iowa community and surrounding attendance area in northwest Iowa. The district provides a full pre-K-through-12 educational program organized across four buildings: a Preschool, a PK-3 Elementary, a 4-6 Intermediate School, and a 7-12 Middle School/High School, with separate principals overseeing each level. In addition to core academics, HCSD offers counseling services at both the TK-6 and 7-12 levels, Talented and Gifted (TAG) programming, special education, career and technical education (CTE), and an athletics program managed through the HUDL platform. The district also operates a community-accessible Wellness Center that sells memberships to the broader public.

The district's technology stack is built on standard K-12 educational platforms: PowerSchool for student information and enrollment management, Canvas for learning management, BrightArrow for parent/student notifications, Renaissance AR for reading practice, Follett Destiny for the library catalog, Frontline for staff administration, and CrisisGo Safe2SpeakUP for anonymous incident reporting. Distribution is omnichannel — a district website, four social media accounts (Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube), iOS and Android mobile apps, and direct in-district enrollment through PowerSchool, supplemented by Iowa's state-wide Open Enrollment process for out-of-district families. Leadership comprises Superintendent Ken Slater alongside building principals Noah Phillips (9-12), Kathy Rhodes (PK-3), Melissa Wurth (4-8), and Technology/Activities Director Ben Hertenstein.

HCSD is a government entity funded through a combination of local property taxes, Iowa state education aid, and federal education grants, with no tuition charged to district residents. As a public entity, it is governed by an elected school board and operates independently with no parent company. Recent capital activity includes a 2024 Renovation and Ventilation Project, the 2025 Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL), and a November 4, 2025 referendum, signaling an active capital and operational planning cycle.
