Hamilton High School

Hamilton High School is a public high school in Chandler, Arizona, United States. It is Arizona's largest high school, with a 4,200 student capacity.[6][7]

History

Co-founder of the city of Chandler, John Augustus Hamilton at City Barber Shop 1948

Hamilton's campus resides on land originally owned by the Hamilton family. Family patriarch, John Augustus Hamilton, helped found the city of Chandler serving as the sheriff for all of what is now considered the southeast Phoenix Metropolitan Area. According to the Chandler Museum and the Chandler Historical Society, Jerry Loper Field marks the location of the Hamilton family's general store. During that time period, locals referred to what is currently the Arizona Avenue/SR 87 and Ocotillo Boulevard intersection as "Hamilton's Corner".[8]

As the Chandler area became more populated, Chandler High School was unable to handle the community's increasing educational needs. Voters in 1996 granted Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) a 33 million US$ bond to purchase the 359,341 ft2 (3,338.3 m2) property and awarded Stantec the construction contract for the original Hamilton High School campus.[9] The school becoming operational in 1998 with Fred DePrez as principal and 1,600 freshmen through junior level students greatly relieved the pressure on Chandler High School.[10][11]

Academics

Hamilton's curriculum is aligned with the standards set by the Arizona Department of Education and implements the state's Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP)[12][13] required for all students grades 9–12 graduating from a publicly funded high school.[14] CUSD high schools also implements an open enrollment policy, meaning students from outside the intended school boundaries may attend without tuition or other penalties.[15]

Arizona requires that all high school students take 6 credit bearing courses during their freshmen through junior years, and provides the option for students on track for graduation the ability to reduce their course load to 4 credit bearing courses. However, CUSD requires all students must complete 22 credits whereas the public university system controlled by the Arizona Board of Regents requires only 16 credits in the following areas:[16]

  • English - 4 credits
  • Mathematics - 4 credits
  • Science - 3 credits
  • Social Studies - 3 credits
  • Career and Technical Educator/Fine Arts - 1 credit
  • Physical Education - 1 credit
  • Comprehensive Health - 1⁄2 credits
  • Elective Courses - 5 1⁄2 credits

Cross-credit courses

At Hamilton and all CUSD high school students may swap two semesters (1⁄2 credits per semester) of Spiritline, Beginning through Advance Dance, Drill Team, Color Guard, Marching Band, Winter guard, or AFJROTC essentially waiving the required one Physical Education credit required for graduation.[16]

Students which choose applied sciences in areas such as Applied Biology or Applied Agricultural Sciences gain equivalent Science credits. Likewise, Economics credits can be awarded like Agricultural Business Management, Business, Business Applications, Marketing, Economics Applications, Family and Consumer Sciences, and vocational courses.[16]

Community college credits can be awarded through a partnership with Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC) and cooperative credits for vocational courses are provided by East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT). Students must be dually enrolled for the Arizona community college or the Arizona public university system to accept the credits towards a degree. CUSD Transportation Department provides routes between Hamilton, EVIT, and CGCC with after school hours transportation intended for students participating in activities.[16]

Separate from EVIT and CGCC, the University of Arizona implemented a pilot program to get university credits for students pursuing introductory engineering courses starting in 2014.[17]

Accolades

The Arizona Education Foundation awarded its A+ School of Excellence award to Hamilton in 2005, 2009, and 2013.[18] In 2014 it was the 15th highest scoring school on Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) tests and the top non-magnet school participating in the annual public school examination.[10] The Presidential Excellence Award in Mathematics and Science was presented to Deborah Nipar in 2019 for her work as an AP Chemistry and Honors Science Research instructor, one of five recipients from Arizona.[19]

Students have achieved many honors including: National Merit Honors, Western Governors Association's annual Spirit Award,[20] honorable mentions for the Governor's Celebration of Innovation Award,[21] and ASU Gammage High School Musical Theatre Awards.[22]

History

John Wrenn was the first employee hired from Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Flossmoor, Illinois and began building a staff consisting of local coaches and professional players for the program.[43] Hamilton began competing in 1998 in the 5A conference as a freelance team and despite their 7–2 record, they were not able to compete in the state championship playoffs. The following year, the AIA placed Hamilton into the Fiesta Region the following year where the team earned most of their region titles.

Hamilton's immediate success resulted in a 2001 5A State Championship appearance falling to Red Mountain High School, 13-10. They would break through beating Mountain View High School in 2003. This set off 15 years of dominance winning 7 Big School State Championships, appearing in an additional 8 championship games and clinching 11 region titles.[44] During this time period, Hamilton football has been ranked nationally several times peaking at #4 nationally by USA Today's Super25 poll when the state record 53-game win streak was broken in November 2011 by Desert Vista High School.[41]

National and international play

The team has also traveled nationally and internationally playing some of the best teams. Starting in September 2006, Hamilton traveled to Massillon, OH to play Washington High School for the McDonald's Kirk Herbstreit Football Challenge losing 35–26.[45] The first nation victory came in 2008 team playing Miami, Florida's Booker T. Washington High School, a 37–19 win.[46]

The 2012 season featured an invitation from the Global Ireland Football Tournament setup by University of Notre Dame and the US Navy Academy.[47] The tournament placed Hamilton against perennial powerhouse Notre Dame High School traveled from Sherman Oaks, CA defeating Hamilton 27–15 at Parnell Park, in Dublin.[47][48]

During the first 20 years of the varsity football playing against non-Arizona team, Hamilton has amassed a 5–5 record overall.

Hazing case

In 2017, an investigation into alleged hazing by members of the Hamilton football team became public. The investigation alleges several incidences starting in September 2015 that included sexual assault, assault, aggravated assault, molestation, kidnapping, and child abuse.[49] Ultimately three students were charged, two as minors and one as an adult.[50] CUSD officials reassigned the varsity football coach Steve Belles, the athletic director, and the principal to the district offices indefinitely in September 2017.[51][52] Investigators recommended child abuse and failure to report child abuse[53] charges as the case became convoluted with alleged video and audio evidence of witness tampering and victim intimidation.[54] Maricopa County Attorney General Bill Montgomery later announce his office would not be seeking charges against the three administrators however none returned to Hamilton.[55] Families of five alleged victims filed civil lawsuits against CUSD and the Hamilton administrators settling in 2019 for an undisclosed amount.[56] Before the 2018 season, CUSD relieved interim head coach Dick Baniszewski by hiring of Mike Zbedski varsity head coach marking the end of Belles' tenure. Belles left CUSD at the end of the school year for Juan Diego Catholic High School in Draper, Utah as a position coach.[57]

After 3 years of criminal proceedings, the sole student charged as an adult accepted a plea deal in February 2020 for a single misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault where the sentence was credited as time served.[58]

Rivalry

A high-profile rivalry developed between Chandler High School and Hamilton High School which are separated by 4 miles (6.4 km) along Arizona Avenue/SR 87. Local media has since daubed this high-profile competition as the "Battle of Arizona Avenue".[68] The annual matchup is consistently a High School Bowl Series[69] game which has been instrumental in broadcast the game nationally by ESPN, ESPNU,[69][70] and the NFHS Network. College coaches frequent the sidelines because of the wealth of highly rated players.[71] Spectator turnout can exceeded 10,000[72] with NFL players and other high profile individuals.[73]

The most notable addition was the Chandler Rotary Club introducing a trophy where brass plate are inscribed with the victors name and date with a custom street sign labeled "Arizona Ave Champions" affixed on top.[74][75] A luncheon is also hosted by the Rotary Club inviting school staff, administrators, current and former players, and inductees to the Chandler Sports Hall of Fame.[72][76]

Activities

The AIA regulates and supports other activities which do not fall under sports. Hamilton activities consist of the following activities:

Other extracurricular activities

While Hamilton Athletics is a completely voluntary, the Marching Band and Robotics programs can garner academic credits if the student opts into taking them as elective credits.

Academic Decathlon

The Academic Decathlon has accumulated numerous team and individual awards including Division IV Arizona State Championship and region titles during the 2018–19[77] and 2019–20 seasons.[78] The team won an Arizona State Championship Runners Up trophy during the 2017–18 season.[77] During the 2018–19 season, they would compete at The United States Academic Decathlon Nationals against 73 schools from the United States, China, and the United Kingdom placing 4th overall in Division IV and 3rd in the Academic Decathlon's Super Quiz competition.[79]

Acting

Hamilton has performed in New York City giving their rendition of Little Women. Standout Sophia Donnell, was awarded a Jimmy Award as a part of the National High School Musical Theatre Awards.[80]

Marching Band

The Marching Huskies joined the Arizona Marching Band Association (AzMBA) in 2018 allowing them to compete. Unlike divisions based on a school's student attendance, AzMBA creates divisions based on the number of students performing. This allowed them to secure their first 2A State Championship in 2023.[81]

Robotics

Hamilton High School Robotics Team, known as the "Microbots" and registered as "Team 698", has built award-winning robots for the FIRST Robotics Competition.[82] In its inaugural year of 2001, the team won a Regional Award at the Southern California Competitions. The Arizona Regionals selected the team for Judges' Award in 2003 with the Industrial Safety Award and the Entrepreneurship Award in 2014. The 2017 Arizona West Regional would award a FIRST Dean's List Finalist Award. Several technology companies within the city of Chandler sponsor and mentor the students during all phases of the competitions.[83]

Campus

The indoor section of the original Hamilton cafeteria

Hamilton was constructed by Stantec on a $33 million USD bond issued to CUSD on a 359,341 ft2 (3,338.3 m2) property on the northwest corner of Arizona Avenue/SR 87 and Ocotillo Boulevard.[9] The main building is two stories tall with an administrative wing (A-wing) on the bottom floor next to the main entrance. Students have the option of eating indoors or in a shaded patio. Food services are located along the south end of the indoor eating area with supporting facilities directly behind them (B-wing) offering students 6 styles of food.[84] In August 2023, construction began on an expansion due to over crowding. The expansion took the original cafeteria's outdoor seating area and the demolition of a non-utilized Greenhouse on the west side essentially doubling the capacity.[85]

The traditional classrooms are found in three 2-story wings (C-wing, D-wing, and E-wing) in a square formation with classrooms on both sides of the hallways and one independent staircase located in a rear corner per wing. The main corridor has two staircases and an elevator for disabled or injured students.

Within D-wing's ground floor has a child care service called Lil' Express Learning Center Archived August 25, 2019, at the Wayback Machine open to faculty and students implementing the Arizona Department of Educations Early Childhood Education program.[86] The Learning Center also has a walled off and covered playground on the north end of the campus. Also on the ground floor is the special education classrooms for developmentally challenged students with licensed speech, occupational, and physical therapists adhering to Title I.[24]

All of the performing arts like concert band, jazz band, choir, orchestra, gymnastics, dance, and art are located on the southeast portion of the main building (H-wing) surrounding the 600-seat auditorium. Locker rooms and a small weight lifting room surround the gym (G-Wing). In the northern parking lot and near the N Wing are mobile classrooms (M-Wing) with 2 classrooms per building due to the large student population.

CUSD was granted a $192 million USD bond in November 2015 for district wide construction and updates. Hamilton was allocated $4.5 million for a two-story building (N-wing) with 20 classroom and additional administration offices 27,530 ft2 (2,557.6 m2) located on what was the original outdoor concrete basketball courts.[8][7]

Sports facilities

The largest sports facility on the Hamilton property is Jerry Loper Field which host all football, soccer, track and field, and other events. The field's namesake is for the late Chandler High School football coach Jerry Loper who was killed by an impaired driver in 1996.[87] Stands are available on the east and west side of the field with an initial capacity of 6,000 fans, however CUSD has installed temporary stands for high-profile events like the "Battle of Arizona Ave".[68] Within Jerry Loper Field are two field houses, the first was built during the initial construction of the school and the second is a $2.3 million USD 9,585 ft2 (890.5 m2) weightlifting facility for student athletics completed 2019.[7] Initially a natural grass field a 2023 CUSD Board of Directors decision allocated $2.9 million USD converting all of their high school stadium fields to an artificial turf.[88] No changes have been made to the original concession stands, restrooms, and ticket facilities.

Dale Hancock Gymnasium inside the school is capable of seating 3,000 fans with collapsible stands on either side of the main basketball court which is sunk a few feet lower. The namesake is for the late CUSD Board of Education member Dale Hancock in 2011.[89] The gymnasium houses several events including basketball, volleyball, badminton, pep-rallies, the Hamilton Invitational Science and Engineering Fair (HISEF), and other events.[90]

The original campus layout included Hamilton Bus Yard, run by CUSD's Transportation Department. In 2005, it was closed and replaced with new asphalt providing a practice area for the Hamilton Marching Band during the fall season and serves as an auxiliary parking for large events. The remaining original sports facilities are 4 baseball diamonds, 3 softball diamonds, 2 practice football fields, 10 tennis courts, and batting cages with auxiliary facilities like bathrooms and ticket sales buildings. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in CUSD closing ticket sales buildings district wide therefore all tickets are sold digitally using QR code contracted online vendor.

Public facilities

Since Hamilton is a public school all facilities can be rented by the public for events through the CUSD Superintendent's office complying with A.R.S. § 15-1105(A).

Public library

Along the northeast corner of the campus is a branch of the Chandler Public Library operated and funded by the City of Chandler. There are doors that allow people direct access to the library from inside the school, however doors with automatic locking prevent people from accessing the school through the library.[91]

There are no classes or dedicated quiet spaces but the library does offer computers, faxing, printing, scanning and Wi-Fi access free of charge. Meeting rooms exist however they must be reserved in advance for a fee.[92]

Aquatic Center

The Hamilton Aquatic Center is an open air multipurpose community pool opened to the public during the spring and summer months. It does serve as the home of Hamilton's Swim and Dive team featuring a regulation lap pool and moveable stands for fans.[93]

Charity

During a November 2005 football practice wide receiver Joe Jackson was involved in a helmet-to-helmet hit rendering him paralyzed from the waist down.[94] As a result, the Hamilton athletic community started a fund to pay for the immediate medical bills. A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization was established on October 26, 2006, called the Joe Jackson Foundation (JJF) which provides children with athletics, recreational, medical, and academic opportunities suffering from Spinal Cord Injuries.[95] Hamilton's football Gridiron Club remain a supporter of JJF by participating in fundraisers and other capacities.
