The mission of the Office of Community and Government Relations is to fully engage the community with Hampton City Schools, providing opportunities for community input, ownership and support. Particular emphasis is placed upon outreach to external stakeholders; business, military, faith, higher education, civic and social organizations, as well as governmental bodies. Likewise, attention is focused upon the school division’s internal stakeholders; faculty, staff, students and families. 

The participation in community organizations such as the Neighborhood Commission, Hampton 250 Commission, the Town and Gown Committee, Sister Cities of Hampton, and the Mayor's Macedonia Call meetings is vital for fostering a strong, connected, and resilient community. These organizations serve as platforms for HCS through collaboration, allowing residents to actively contribute to the shaping of their neighborhoods and the broader community. Engagement in these groups helps to address local issues, supports families, and enhances the quality of life for all residents which is all aligned with the goals of Hampton City Schools.
