Behind every successful student is a healthy one! 🩺✨ Today, we’re celebrating National School Nurse Day and the incredible professionals who keep our halls safe and our students well.

🎉 You’re cordially invited to the 8th-grade promotion! 🎉
This is an opportunity to recognize the hard work our students put in at HHMS, and to send them off to high school for the next step in their educational journey! RSVP is required for attendees - call 804-769-3434 ext. 501 to provide guest names. Each student may bring 2 guests due to the bleacher capacity. The ceremony will be on May 28th at 9 AM, and doors will open for guests at 8:30 AM.
We are asking our students to dress nicely, but this is not a formal event, such as high school graduation. The program should take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete, and afterward, there will be opportunities for photos. Parents may check out students after the ceremony to begin summer break and continue the celebration!
Not all heroes wear capes—some carry dry-erase markers. 🍎
This week, we are celebrating the incredible educators who make KWCPS a place of wonder, growth, and discovery. Teaching is more than a profession; it’s a daily commitment to shaping the future, one student at a time.
To our teachers: Thank you for the late nights, the endless patience, and the way you believe in our students even when they don’t believe in themselves. You are the heart of our community.
Help us celebrate! Drop a comment below with a shout-out to a teacher who made a difference in your life. 👇

Congratulations to our amazing student and staff HHMS Spring Poetry Contest winners and honorable mentions! During recent class visits to the library this month, students brainstormed and discussed imagery/ descriptive words appealing to their five senses, specifically with an ocean theme this year. Students were then given time to write an original poem and submit it to the library. Wonderful job, HHMS students and staff! May you always stay creative and keep a poet's eye!
