Today, we met with our incoming, New-To-Yarmouth teachers. We are so excited to have them join the HMS staff!
We also realized today that we are two weeks from the start of the school year. We are looking forward to seeing our students on Tuesday, September 6th!
Citizen Science at HMS: A couple of our 7th grade Science classes completed a biotic index of the Royal River today. Students took samples and identified macro-organisms to calculate the biodiversity found above the dam compared to below it.
Our 7th graders have been engaging in field explorations in citizen science at Madeleine Point! These are part of two joint projects with Manomet, Gulf of Maine Marine Institute, Maine Cooperative Ext, and NH Sea Grant.

Good morning. Yarmouth High School, Frank Harrison Middle School, and Yarmouth Elementary School are each without power at this time. Work crews are on site in Yarmouth to restore electricity soon, and schools are operating with some minor adjustments. We’ll let you know when power is restored. These outages have also disabled our phones and Internet.
Thank you for your patience.
