HOCKINSON SCHOOL DISTRICT

The HSD has an incredible nursing team consisting of Kat Young (HHES), Shawn Cass (HMS), and the combo of Shing Burkhart and Molly Scott at HHS. These nurses provide an array of important health services to our students every day. Many families may not know that without levy funding, the state would only provide funding for 1/3 of one nurse position...for the entire district! Thanks to the community’s support of the 2022 Levy and enhanced student safety funding from the state, we are now able to fund three nurses to support Hockinson’s 1,940 students. And wow, do we ever need them! Did you know that HHES Nurse Kat Young (r) pictured with Health Room Assistant Julie Nielson (l) have responded to over 7,500 separate health room visits this so far this school year?!
