The Great HES Trifecta: Mrs. Vicki Skarda, Mrs. Monica Lisko, and Mrs. Beth Rogers
Mrs. Beth Rogers shared this photo on December 20, 2012, to celebrate her best friend, Vicki, on her retirement from Hazen Elementary School after 27 years of service in education.
Mrs. Vicki Skarda is fondly remembered by the many students whose lives she touched throughout the years, as well as by her co-workers, this school district, our entire community, and beyond. She was truly one of those special people who made a lasting difference wherever she went.
Even after retirement, Mrs. Skarda found another way to continue serving the Hazen School District—as a member of the Hazen School Board.
It is with extremely heavy hearts that we acknowledge her passing and extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, former students, and all who loved her.
Mrs. Vicki Skarda was a true gem—kind, dedicated, and deeply committed to the children and community she served. Her impact will live on through the countless lives she touched, and she will be forever missed by all who knew and loved her.

HSD Weekly Updates: 9/14-18, including HHS Picture Day on Monday and HES Picture Day on Tuesday
Where were you 25 years ago today?
We all have our own stories and memories of September 11, 2001.
Ms. Hambrick, HHS Library Media Specialist, still has the note she received from the office that morning letting her know that something big was happening. She alerted teachers to turn on their televisions, and from right here at HHS, they watched the horrific events of 9/11 unfold.
Twenty-five years later, she still has that note—a small piece of paper that holds a powerful memory of a day none of us will ever forget.
As a district, we remember those who lost their lives, those who served and responded, and the countless lives forever changed by that day.
Hazen School District will never forget.
