About Us

Hawthorne recently earned National Magnet Certification! This certification solidifies everyone's hard work in creating an environment focused on language acquisition.
We thank our staff, families, and community! We continue to be recognized for everyone's hard work, dedication, and student focus. We appreciate your partnership and support of our AMAZING school!
Hawthorne Elementary is proud to be the premier Spanish Immersion Magnet school in JCPS! We are a small elementary school in the Highlands and that allows us to provide a unique experience that is tailored to each child.
Our kindergarten-2nd grade students spend half of their instructional day immersed in Spanish (math, science, and Spanish Literacy) and half of their instructional day immersed in English (English language arts and social studies). Third-Fifth grade add Spanish literacy to their schedule and math is taught in English.
At the end of each student's career at Hawthorne, they are able take the STAMP test to earn a pathway to seal of biliteracy.
We can’t wait to share Hawthorne with you!
