Spain Park fields get new turf
In April, Spain Park High School cut the ribbon for brand-new artificial turf on its baseball and softball fields. This transformation, made possible by a $9 million partnership between the City of Hoover and Hoover City Schools, represents a significant milestone in the ongoing effort to elevate sports facilities across Hoover.
Initiated in 2022, this collaborative endeavor provides top-tier athletic infrastructure at Spain Park and Hoover High Schools.
Hayn named HCS transportation director
Brad Hayn has been named HCS Transportation Director, succeeding Jeremy Bradford, who retired after 8½ years of service.
Expressing gratitude for Bradford's years of service, Hayn emphasized the importance of his predecessor's commitment to the district. "We appreciate Mr. Bradford's dedication to the district all these years and ensuring the safety of our students," said Hayn, reflecting on Bradford's legacy.
Hayn has been a staple at Hoover High School, serving as an assistant principal for a decade and a half. "It is hard to put into words how much Hoover High School has meant to my family and me. The hardest part of taking on this new opportunity is saying goodbye. It is truly a special place," said Hayn.
