About Bernice Hart Elementary
Bernice Hart Elementary School is a community of learners in Northeast Austin that empowers children to develop knowledge, while learning how to contribute to their communities through collaboration, negotiation and shared goals. Civic engagement is a key part of the school named for Bernice Hart, long-time educator, civil rights champion and community leader.
Hart offers students a world of opportunities—including fine arts, bilingual, and dual language programs—to reach their fullest potential as they prepare for middle school and college, career and life. The school also offers after-school programs in film, girl and boy scouts, journalism, and the 4H youth development and mentoring programs.
Hart works with families and community partners to coordinate a bike program to help students stay healthy and commute to and from school safely. Working with the City of Austin, the school offers monitors and riders who pick up students at neighborhood apartment complexes or mobile home communities to take them to school. Students are chaperoned after school as well.
Hart is part of the Northeast Early College Highschool family of schools. As an early college high school, Northeast ECC offers students the opportunity to earn college credit and graduate with a diploma in one hand and an associate’s degree from Austin Community College in the other.
