Welcome to Phoebe Hearst Elementary School!

William Kerlina, Principal

Our Pre-K through 5th grade school in Northwest Washington is the only DC public school with Pre-K and Kindergarten programs accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).  We offer an excellent academic program, a multi-cultural student body and teaching staff, small class sizes, and attention to the arts, wellness, and the environment.  We're very proud of our outstanding leadership, experienced teachers, involved neighbors, and happy kids!  Please browse our site to learn more about our school.

 

What's Happening at Hearst

Come see our new playground and bring the kids!  Our new kids (12 and under) soccer field is now ready for play, so don't forget to bring a ball!

Please join the PTA and Hearst families for DCPS School Beautification Day on August 21st from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm as we spiff up Hearst and its grounds in anticipation of the first day of school.  If you would like to volunteer, contact Denise Dawkins.  More to follow as we approach the date.

If you would like to continue your child's Fillmore experience over the summer, click here to read more about Fillmore West's summer programs.  We look forward to another year of the Arts with Fillmore's talented staff.

Everyone enjoyed the Hearst Spring Fair, which included fun for the kids, a used book sale, a bone marrow drive, and silent auction.  We raised funds for the library and the classrooms, met new families, and had a generally great time.  Thanks to all volunteers and to Ms. Dawkins for her great planning.  And, thanks to the Friends of the Cleveland Park Library for their very generous donation to our library. 
 
 The Hearst E-Cycle was a great success this past spring, and we collected over 6 tons of electronics for recycling.  Please join us next year as we do it again, and don't forget that you can continue collecting juice pouches and wine corks over the summer for our recycling fundraiser.  For more on our green scene, click here.
