Welcome to Hawk Elementary School

  • Opened in 2005, Hawk Elementary is named for Mildred Hawk, a local philanthropist and educational supporter, who stressed the importance of literacy to enhance the learning experience for all students. Ms. Hawk started the Hawkeye Readers Program in 1999, which awarded the top third grade readers at each elementary school throughout the district.

    In 2004, Ms. Hawk established the Hawkeye Readers Endowment. Through her generous contribution, funds were made available annually so that the Hawkeye Reader program may continue. Always a great planner, Ms. Hawk provided funding with the anticipated growth of the district in mind, thereby ensuring generations of Hawkeye Readers in Denton ISD. The award was expanded in 2011 to acknowledge literacy teachers across the district. 

    Hawk Elementary was one of the first schools built outside of the Denton city limits. It is located in Corinth and serves students in the Guyer High School attendance zone.
