Small Learning Communities
Hamilton High is divided into six "small learning communities," or SLCs," which coordinate their own curricula and staff. They are:
- Academy of Music
- Humanities Magnet, established in 1981
- CAA (Communication Arts Academy)
- Global Studies
- BIT (Business & Interactive Technology)
- MSM (Math Science Medical)
During the 2008/2009 school year, the L & M (Leadership & Management) was eliminated and the students were placed in the four remaining non-magnet SLCs.

—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
