✨ We are thrilled to welcome our new teachers to the Pirate family! Over the past few weeks, they’ve already impressed us with their energy and dedication during new teacher orientation; from “Anatomy of a Teacher” and speed networking with admin, to a district bus tour and 4E safety training.
A huge shoutout to our phenomenal instructional coaches for leading the way and making sure our new staff feel supported every step of the journey!!
We can’t wait to see the impact these educators will have in our classrooms and community! 🖤❤🏴☠️

“This isn’t just about improving a facility - it’s about investing in the experience of every student, athlete, parent, and fan,” shared Superintendent Ritchie Kracht as he welcomed the community to see the $7 million transformation.
From new bleachers and expanded ADA-compliant restrooms to upgraded concessions and seating for 2,400 fans, the project was designed to enhance every game day experience. “These upgrades ensure Porter Stadium continues to be a source of pride for years to come,” said Ted Sampson, HPS Chief Operations Officer.
Sports Director Chris Duerr echoed that sentiment: “Porter Stadium offers an opportunity for students to be part of something bigger than yourself and celebrate that… When we come here, we come here as Pirate fans and as a community. It is our gathering place and a place in which we can be proud.”
Funded through Proposition Innovation, these renovations are a shared investment in our students, our families, and our future. Hannibal Public Schools extends its deepest appreciation to the community, taxpayers, parents, students, and staff whose flexibility and support made this project possible.🖤 ❤️🏴☠️
