Eight students from HMS took part in the National History Day regional competition at USM this past Saturday. The students worked on their projects over the past several months, consulting here at HMS with Mr. Potvin. Amazingly, all of our students qualified for the state competition at the University of Maine on May 3rd! Congratulations to all who participated!
Ian Kiander was awarded this year's Steingart Award! The Steingart Award is presented in honor of Neal Steingart, parent of a former HMS student, Emily Steingart, and it is a legacy in support of music education. Ian is a leader in our chorus, band, acapella, and jazz band. Congratulations, Ian!

Good morning. CMP has been unable to respond to our request for repairs to their equipment at Frank Harrison Middle School. HMS families are encouraged to read an email sent this morning from Superintendent Dolloff as they prepare for the school day today (Friday, December 13).
Good morning. We are experiencing reduced electrical power issues at HMS again this morning. CMP has been notified and will attempt to be there to address their equipment issues soon. We will plan to have a regular day at the school, though some classes may be relocated.
HMS is a school that supports reading by providing time during the school day to read. Pictured are three of our eighth graders reading in the HMS library today!
