Meet the Administrators

The Administrative Staff brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the students, staff, and community at Hallandale Magnet High School.

Each Administrator is assigned to a grade level and oversees a variety of curricular areas. Additional support from our Behavior Specialists and Athletic Director allows the team to address the disciplinary and social-emotional needs of our students. The School Counselors, Social Worker, and Family Counselors meet with students and families in an effort to provide students with support beyond the classroom and putting all available resources within their arms reach.

Contact HMHS Staff anytime if you have questions, comments, or concerns.

Principal's Message

Welcome to Hallandale Magnet High School

Dear Charger Parents and Students,

I hope this message finds you in great spirits and with renewed energy. It is with immense pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year at Hallandale Magnet High School! Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, I am thrilled that you will be part of the Charger Family and experience the excellence, opportunity, and tradition that define our school.

As we step into this new academic year, I remain committed to upholding the rich legacy of Charger Pride while also moving boldly toward the future. I believe in the power of strong partnerships between our school and the families we serve, partnerships that inspire academic achievement, build self-confidence, and help every student reach their fullest potential. Together, we will continue to cultivate an environment where motivation, dedication, and commitment are not just words but the foundation of everything we do.

At Hallandale, we recognize that education extends beyond the classroom. Our students grow through academics, the arts, athletics, leadership, and community service. It truly takes a village to support and guide our Chargers, and I invite you to be an active participant in this journey.

Let this be the year you challenge yourself, support one another, and honor the Charger legacy with pride. The bar is high, but so are your capabilities. It’s your time to shine, to lead, and to add your chapter to our school’s remarkable story.

Chargers, let’s Reflect, Reach, Rise, and be Chargers in Motion for your educational success!

With Charger Pride,

Mrs. Paula Peters
