Hamilton High School
Becky Milstead Jenkins: I think the school is great but have concerns about the elemenatry school's play ground equipment. My daughter graduate from there. The equipment was there when she attended. My understanding that the equipment is 30 years old. Too old and probaly not even safe. Why not get a grant for new playground equipment or instead of an Apple iPad use that money toward equipment. Someone help
