Principal's Message

Hello Hornsby-Dunlap Community,

It continues to be an absolute honor to serve as the Principal of Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary. Over the past few years, I’ve had the joy of watching our campus grow in so many meaningful ways. Together, we’ve made tremendous strides—our academic scores have improved, community involvement has increased, and our campus has become a vibrant hub for family and community events.

At HDE, we are proud to be a student-centered, collaborative campus where every child is encouraged and supported to reach their full potential. We are committed to continuous improvement, always working to ensure that each student receives the best education possible in a nurturing and engaging environment.

It’s been inspiring to see our Hound Dogs thrive, and I truly love walking the halls, talking with students, and sharing in their excitement for learning. Our campus is more connected than ever—with families, staff, and community partners working together to support our students’ academic and personal growth.

This school year, you can expect more enriching experiences for students, continued academic focus, and many opportunities for us to come together as a school community. Whether through celebrations, family nights, or other academic events, we’ll keep building a strong and supportive school culture that reflects the pride we have in HDE.

As always, please feel free to reach out to me by calling our front office at 512-386-3650. I look forward to another great year filled with learning, growth, and community spirit.

Warmly,

Janeigh Jones
Principal, Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary
