Words from an HRS Alum
“Dyslexia is something that I will have to live with for the rest of my life. I know it’s not going to be easy but it certainly is not going to stop me from achieving my dreams. And that is the biggest gift I have ever received. It was from Hamlin Robinson School.” - HRS Alum
