He served as principal of both that school and Stonewall Jackson Junior High (now Navarro Middle School). Hartman also served as an army officer in both World Wars. Hartman Middle School was built in 1954. A new facility, which retained and renovated the original gymnasium and auditorium, was completed in 2007.
