Welcome to Hevel Elementary

Norman B. Hevel Elementary School was named in honor of a beloved Washington Elementary School principal. The school opened in the fall of 2002, and its official dedication ceremony was held on October 6, 2002. Mr. Hevel began his career in Romeo as a 7th grade teacher in 1954. In 1955 he was appointed principal and held that position until his retirement in June of 1980.  We continue his vision of education as we feature all of the updated equipment students need to compete in a technological world.  We are dedicated to ensure that our students are engaged in their learning and will be empowered to succeed in their future.
