Gaston Caperton Opportunity Honor Roll


The Hull Public Schools Has Been Named to the
College Board’s Gaston Caperton Opportunity Honor Roll
for Expanding Access to College

The Hull Public Schools is one of 130 districts across the U.S. being recognized for creating opportunities for traditionally underrepresented students.  The districts featured on the honor roll have expanded access to higher education by providing students with rigorous academic offerings and innovative college-preparation programs.  Districts on the honor roll demonstrate significant and consistent growth in the number of underrepresented and low-income students taking college-level courses, and applying to four or more colleges.

There is no application to be on the Honor Roll; instead the College Board looks across multiple data sets to identify recipients. To be included in the Honor Roll, districts must have:
  • Increased the number of underrepresented students who took the SAT®
  • Increased the number of underrepresented students who took an AP® course and exam
  • Increased the number of underrepresented students who were on-track for college, as demonstrated by scoring 1550+ on the SAT
  • Increased the number of underrepresented students who scored a 3+ on an AP Exam
  • Increased the number of underrepresented students who sent their SAT scores to at least four colleges
The complete 2015 Gaston Caperton Honor Roll can be found here.

My School Bucks


Keep your student’s meals account balance current by setting up on-line alerts when their account reaches $10.00 or below.  You do not need to pay on-line to receive the alerts. 

It’s very easy – go to www.myschoolbucks.com to create your account.  Follow the prompts and be sure to add each student individually.  Choose to receive notifications by text message and/or email.  

If you do choose to pay on-line, there are a couple of options – set up auto pay for a specific amount or pay on-line when you receive the alert.  The student will always have money available on their account.  Note if you pre-pay 11 meals on-line, you will get the 12th one free.

If you would rather not pay on-line, that’s fine too.  When you receive the notification, send in cash or a check (payable to Hull Public Schools) with your student and they can pay the cashier in the cafeteria. It’s that easy!

Student’s who reach a negative balance of $10.00 or more will receive a notice from the school and an alternate lunch will be given until the balance is paid in full.

If you think that your family may be eligible for free or reduced priced meals, please fill out the meals application and send it into school with your student.  A copy of the application can be printed from the Hull Public Schools website or you can pick up a copy in any school office.  You will receive a letter from the school regarding the decision within a week of submission.  If you don’t receive this letter, do not assume you are approved; contact your student’s school.
