HSCIN Steering Committee

The HSCIN is looking to expand our Steering Committee.  The Steering Committee consists of Hoover citizens who wish to share ideas about how to better inform our Hoover school community about our public school system and engage our Hoover school community in the education of its children.

The HSCIN conducts bi-monthly meetings, but attendance is not mandatory.  Most of the sharing of ideas is conducting via e-mail.  If you would like to become a member of the Steering Committee, please contact Jackie, Trish or Ginger at HSCIN@HSCIN.org.
