The Cubs were full of school spirit and house pride during Hueytown Intermediate School’s sorting day! Students were divided into six houses that form one big HIS Family, with each house representing positive values and characteristics. As the school year goes on, these students will earn points for academic achievements and exemplary character, helping create a positive culture within their house and the entire school! 👏🐾 We can’t wait to see these houses collect points and spread positivity!

Our outstanding Gifted instructors are full steam ahead toward a remarkable year!

We had a wonderful time seeing our instructors under one roof, sharpening their skills and sharing their knowledge during an inspiring day of professional development. Our educators learned valuable information from award-winning Gifted instructor Stephanie Higgs (also known as Little Miss Gifted), and displayed what they learned by making their own exemplar gifted classrooms! 👏

This is just the start of what is sure to be an exciting year for our gifted program, and we are thrilled to see what our students achieve!

Please help us congratulate the following students:
