The Hannibal Public School District's Mission is to serve our community by empowering students to thrive.

The Hannibal Board of Education held a Special Board meeting on November 28th, 2023 to write a survey to solicit responses from the community and staff on Standards Based Grading. The purpose of this survey is for feedback only.

The survey is open January 2, 2024 through January 12, 2024. Answers are completely anonymous, unless you disclose identifying information in the feedback you provide in the comments.

We are excited to share that the application process has been successfully completed, and the board is now moving forward with the next phase of the selection process.

After an extensive and thorough review of all received applications, the board has identified a group of highly qualified candidates who will be advancing to the next stage of consideration. These candidates possess a diverse range of experiences, skills, and leadership qualities that align with our district's vision and values.

The next phase of the process will involve formal interviews with the selected finalists. The board is committed to conducting a rigorous and transparent interview process that will allow us to gain a deeper understanding of each candidate's background, qualifications, and vision for our district's future.

Throughout this phase of the process, the board will maintain a strong focus on transparency and community involvement. We value the input of our stakeholders and believe that their perspectives are essential in helping us make an informed decision about the next superintendent of Hannibal Public Schools.

Parents are invited to a Parent Education Night with CHADS Coalition that will be hosted at the Hannibal High School Auditorium on January 10, 2024 at 6:00pm.

About the Program:

CHADS Coalition trains students, parents, and adults how to recognize and prevent suicide with the only universal, evidence-based prevention program, Signs of Suicide in partnership with MindWise Innovations. Signs of Suicide (SOS) ® teaches participants the signs of depression, signs suicide, and the importance of telling a Trusted Adult when they notice those warning signs in themselves or someone they know.

SOS Program Research

SOS is used in thousands of schools around the country and is the only youth suicide prevention program that has demonstrated an improvement in students’ knowledge and adaptive attitudes about suicide risk and depression, as well as a reduction in actual suicide attempts.
