History of Hancock Elementary School
T. Dale Hancock Elementary opened our doors for the first time in July of 2004. We are located in Arden Park, just south of Germann Road and west of Arizona Avenue in Chandler, Arizona. T. Dale Hancock Elementary School was officially named after Dale Hancock on January 8, 2003.
Former Superintendent Dr. Camille Casteel presented and signed this resolution:
Mr. Hancock has a unique background in that he has served as a teacher, administrator and Governing Board member for Chandler Unified. In all, he served CUSD for 36 years prior to retiring in 1997 and additional five years since then working on special assignments. During his tenure as coach, teacher, principal and assistant superintendent, several CUSD programs were recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, President Ronald Reagan and the Arizona Department of Education for excellence. Mr. Hancock provided assistance, guidance and direction for students in a multitude of ways. First and foremost, he was a friend to students often providing them with the inspiration to make positive, life-impacting decisions. His legacy of gentle toughness will always be appreciated by Chandler Schools. CUSD is grateful for the many lives he touched and would like to recognize his many contributions by naming our new elementary school to be located in the Arden Park community of south Chandler in honor of T. Dale Hancock.

We're Hancock Heat
We cannot be beat
We blaze with fire
All hot with pride
With our colors
Bright red and yellow
Our school is the
Greatest of all
GO HEAT!
Our School song was written by members of the 5th Grade General Music class in fall of 2004.
The 6th grade students also composed a different version:
We are the Heat
You cannot compete
Our scorching pride
Makes us all strive
To be burning
For greater learning
We try our hardest
To achieve
HANCOCK HEAT!
