🔍🎃 6th Grade Literacy in Action! 🎃🔍
Mrs. Dotson brought learning to life with a spooky-themed escape room, and her 6th graders rose to the challenge! 🧩📚 Students worked together to crack clues, all while mastering key literacy skills like determining point of view and theme. The energy in the room was electric as they moved around, collaborated, and engaged in learning.
Big thanks to Mrs. Dotson for creating such an exciting, hands-on learning experience, and hats off to her students for diving in with enthusiasm and teamwork! 👏💡

🎨📚 Art Meets Literacy! 📚🎨
At HMS, we believe in a team approach to literacy. Our talented art teacher, Mr. Taylor, is leading a lesson where students read an article, study art pieces, and write about how the art impacts the story. This creative method deepens their understanding while keeping learning fun and engaging!
Together, we’re making literacy a priority across all subjects. 💡👏

Please help us welcome Mr. Johnson to HMS!!!
"Hello, my name is Taylor Johnson. I will be serving as the 6th grade Social Studies teacher here at Huntsville Middle School this upcoming 2024-2025 school year. I am a graduate from John Brown University and have been living in Fayetteville for nearly three years now. Some of my hobbies/interests include running, photography, SEC football, hiking, camping, and travel. I am excited to be serving at Huntsville as well as teaching Ancient World History! I love learning about the world around me. For example, I once spent a week living in Northern Japan with a host family as part of a student ambassador program where I forged positive relationships with locals, learned about the history of the region, and engaged in local customs. I am looking forward to teaching the kids here and fostering in them an interest and excitement for the world around them."

Please join us in welcoming Matt Williams back to the Huntsville School District. Mr. Williams will be teaching 7th grade Science here at HMS!
“My name is Matt Williams. I am coming from Har-Ber High School in Springdale, and entering my 25th year in education.”
“I am originally from Texarkana, but I have been in northwest Arkansas the majority of my life. I am married to Chillone Williams, who works for the transportation department here in Huntsville. I have 2 kids that both graduated from Huntsville. My daughter Kayla is a pre-k teacher in Alva, OK where she lives with her husband Nick Ledbetter, who is also a Huntsville graduate. My son Camden is an electrical engineer in Kansas City. I love anything involving the water…swimming, kayaking, fishing. I am also trying to teach myself to play the guitar.”
“I got into education because of coaching. Previous to this year, I coached football for 27 years. 19 of those years were at Huntsville. The last 4 as head coach. This will be my first year just focusing on the classroom. I am excited for the new year and the opportunity to teach and motivate the students. Guiding students to enjoy learning and, giving them opportunities, and helping them to be successful is what motivates me. I guess a small interesting fact about me is that I walked on to play football at the University of Arkansas and played in the first ever Arkansas SEC game and won.”
I hope everyone has an amazing year.
Go Eagles!
