Alison Hosack is very positive and supportive of all staff members and families. She exemplifies what it means to go above-and-beyond. Alison continuously checks in with school officials to ensure the campus goals and CIS’s goals are aligned. I couldn’t be more pleased to serve with Alison at Borman Elementary.
