Hamilton School proudly welcomed Judge Tamika A. Coverdale of the Mount Vernon City Court on Tuesday as part of its Guest Speaker Series.

Judge Coverdale met with fifth- and sixth-graders to discuss civic responsibility, the structure of the court system and the professional journey of becoming an attorney and judge.

The students were very engaged throughout the presentation, asking thoughtful questions and demonstrating a genuine interest in understanding the legal system and their role as responsible citizens.

This meaningful experience was presented in alignment with the school’s Together Against Hate/No Place for Hate initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to promoting respect, civic awareness and positive decision-making within the school community.
