Both of my children attended HBE. What a lovely small school! The teachers were wonderful, always willing to go above and beyond for my family. My children made so many friends that they are still friends with to this day. The PTA does a lot of families too. They have monthly family fun nights where you can meet lots of other families. I look forward to someday having grandchildren attend this school! Close Quote
