Hickman School District joined the Charter world in 1994 when it sponsored a start-up school, Hickman Charter School. Hickman Charter Schools is a “university model” which blends the best of study at home with on-site classes and online programs. It was created in response to parents who were looking for high-quality individualized options for their children and teachers who recognized that the traditional system does not meet the needs of all children. After witnessing the success of the Hickman Charter School students, along with the positive power of the parent/staff collaboration, both the districts’ Elementary (K-5) and Middle School (6-8) chose to embrace the possibilities charter status could afford. Charter status empowered us to better meet the challenge of supporting the diverse needs of all students. Thus, in 2000 both schools converted to charter status. The validation of this decision to convert to charter status was evidenced when the middle school was awarded Distinguished School status in 2003 and the elementary school qualified as a Distinguished School nominee in 2004. In 2014 Hickman Charter School was awarded Distinguished Schools status. Since there are just 3 schools in the district, once all were charter, we became the Hickman Community Charter District. The district's charter has been renewed in 2005, 2010, and is up for renewal in 2015.
