Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.

History
On December 4, 1959 Albert J. Hickman, a U.S. Navy pilot, sacrificed his own life to save the lives of 750 children who would have been killed had he chosen to eject and allow his plane to crash into the school below him. Our school remembers and honors his sacrifice and seeks to continue his legacy of heroism.
The mission of Hickman Elementary School is to provide a balanced curriculum promoting academic excellence through high quality instruction. We believe teamwork and collaboration are key elements of a successful school. Sharing the responsibility of education among school personnel, students, parents, and other community members is essential to maximize student achievement. Working together as a community of learners provides a framework of support encouraging our students to think globally as they become productive life-long learners.
