Connecting Families. Creating Opportunities.
At our Annual Title I Meeting, we had the opportunity to share what it means to be a Title I school, the resources and opportunities available to our students and families, and the important role parents play in their children’s education.
At HMS, parent voices matter, and strong family partnerships help open doors for student success.
Featured: Dr. Serra Peterson, Principal, with Parent Involvement Coordinators Talicia Addison and Karen Watson.

Science is something we DO, not just something we read about!
Mrs. Miles’ 6th Grade Gold Science students put science into action during their Day & Night Lab, exploring firsthand how Earth’s rotation causes day and night.
Students made observations, applied the Scientific Method, discussed their ideas with classmates, and drew evidence-based conclusions.
The classroom was filled with student discourse, teamwork, questions, and discovery as our Panthers learned from one another through hands-on science.
Great work, Panthers!
