CONGRATULATIONS to 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Brink !!!


Happy New Year!
As you may be hearing, a couple of local schools are going to remote instruction due to staffing shortages. We are fortunate at HMS, and at this time, we are able to staff our classrooms. Therefore, HMS will not be having remote instruction. We will continue to do everything possible to keep our students learning in-person. Thank you.
