HMS Supply The Troops Drive
Highland Middle School will be gearing up for the holiday season, by hosting a Supply The Troops Drive. Our goal is to have the students and staff at HMS, donate enough items to fill at least ten boxes of needed items to send to our troops, who will not be able to celebrate the holidays with their families and friends. It is with great hope, through our generosity, that we can make our troops’ holiday season a little brighter. So, please consider donating to a great cause!!
Thank You!!

This morning, the Highland Police Department, along with officers from neighboring communities, brought several K-9 dogs to HMS for a drug search that included classrooms, hallways, and lockers as part of our regular safety plan. Students are in class continuing their work and there is no safety concern at this time.
First Jazz Band rehearsal at HMS!
Parents,
We just got confirmation that our cookie dough boxes are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. We will have pick up from 2:35-5:00 pm tomorrow. If the order is manageable, we will send it home with your student during the last hour of the day. If it is too much to take on the bus, we will need a parent to come to the HMS plaza and pick up the order no later than 5:00 pm tomorrow, 11/7. All orders MUST go home tomorrow. We do not have refrigerated storage space to hold the orders.
Thank you for your support of our school!
