Principal's Message
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”

Dear families of Hahnville High School,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year. As your principal, I am honored to partner with our dedicated faculty, staff, parents, and community as we work together to educate, empower, and encourage our students. We are committed to helping every student grow into a responsible, empathetic, and enthusiastic life-long learner. The world is changing rapidly, bringing both challenges to overcome and opportunities to embrace. This year, we encourage all members of our Tiger Family to “Accept the Challenge.”
My vision for Hahnville High School is that each student graduates with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their future, an appreciation for the many opportunities before them, and the wisdom to see their choices within the context of a global community. We believe every child can succeed, and our mission is to inspire students to realize their full potential—whether in the classroom, on the field, or on the stage.
Our collective goal is to create a school where faculty, staff, parents, and community members collaborate to make data-driven decisions centered on the essential question: “What is best for kids?” We aim to develop students not only academically, artistically, and athletically, but also socially and emotionally. Our ultimate goal is for students to have the confidence and integrity to stand up for what is right, the wisdom to make sound choices in the moment, and the discipline to achieve their potential.
Though challenges may arise, I am confident in the strength of our Tiger Family. We are fierce in our desire to succeed, noble in our commitment to generosity and integrity, and strong in our unwavering dedication to doing what is right. Together, we will continue the proud tradition of excellence at Hahnville High School.
Fierce. Noble. Strong. Together!
Sincerely,
Jose Gonzales
Hahnville High School Principal
