🎶 Band Concert Night! 🎶
Tonight we celebrated our Beginning Band (6th–8th grade) and Beginning Guitar students—who just started playing in August and have already grown so much! We also loved hearing our Middle School Band, whose sound and progress make us so proud.
Huge shout-out to Ms. Samantha Canon and Mr. Stittsworth for their dedication and high expectations. What an amazing night of music! 🎺✨
Day 2 of HMS Elf was full of tea! Sparkles landed in our school counselor’s office and spilled the tea about coping skills! ✨ Coping Skills are so important! Sparkles loves taking time to sip hot tea and relax! 🫖 Students had the opportunity to share their favorite coping skill and enter into a drawing for a goodie-filled stocking! Congratulations to Chloe Cook who was our drawing winner!! We wonder where Sparkles will land next! ✨
🎄❤️ Day 2 of our 12 Days of Christmas at HMS! ❤️🎄
Today was Candy Cane Day, and our halls were filled with festive red & white from head to toe! Students and staff really brought the peppermint spirit!
🌟 Shoutout to our AMAZING 7th graders! 🌟
Today in ELA with Mrs. Baldwin, students rotated through a series of engaging learning stations to analyze and identify the theme of the short stories they’ve read this semester. 📚✨
They collaborated, discussed, supported one another, and showcased strong critical thinking as they worked toward mastering the Literacy Standard of determining how a central idea and/or theme of a text is developed through supporting details.. We are SO proud of their effort, teamwork, and growth! 🙌💙
Way to go, Eagles! Keep soaring! 🦅💛
🎁 Shoutout to the Huntsville Masonic Lodge for donating a huge variety of toys to Huntsville Middle School! HMS was able to share the love with Huntsville Intermediate and Watson Primary School because of this generosity! Our Math 6 team took this opportunity to provide a hands-on learning experience for our 6th graders! Each 6th grade student helped wrap a gift, while learning about surface area!! 📏📐
'Twas the night before returning to HMS, when all through the campus, not a creature was stirring, not even... AN ELF?!! 🎄
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Sparkles soon would be there! ✨
Jingle, Jangle! Meet Sparkles, the HMS Elf! ✨ She just made her grand arrival from The North Pole! Tomorrow begins the 12 Days of Elf On The Shelf (HMS Edition!!)
Follow along for more adventures from Sparkles, the HMS Elf On The Shelf! 🎄
Our Band students and instructor are working hard to prepare for the Winter Band Concert! ❄️ Join us during the Winter Band Concert at the Arena on December 4th at 6:00pm! 🎶
🎄 Day 1 of our 12 Days of Christmas: SWEATS DAY! 🎄 Comfy, cozy, and totally festive — everyone rocked their sweats today and made Tuesday feel way more fun. 😄✨ Can’t wait to see what the next 11 days bring!
The Huntsville Middle School FCA would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the businesses in our community who generously sponsored this year’s FCA Family Shopping Day. Each year, the HMS FCA seeks support from local businesses and community leaders to help provide Christmas gifts for children in our area. Your kindness and generosity make this mission possible. Thank you for making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and their families.
🌟 Service with a Smile! 🌟
HMS Outdoor Ed students rolled up their sleeves today to pack food bags for our local FBC pantry. Love seeing our kids give back and support our community in such a meaningful way! 💚🥫
We're excited to start our 12 Days of Christmas dress up days! Hope to see you in festive gear!
Big shoutout to our HMS PTSO for helping us celebrate the end of Atlas testing with a fun event and yummy snacks! We’re so grateful! 💙✨
Traffic Pattern Change – Huntsville Middle School
As part of our continued commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for our students, we are updating the traffic flow around Huntsville Middle School beginning when we return from Thanksgiving Break.
To help improve campus safety, School Drive (the road running through the HMS campus) will be closed to thru traffic during school hours.
All daytime traffic will now use Circle Drive on the right side of Middle School Hill. Vehicles will go up the hill, circle the HMS parking lot, and then return down the same side.
We are grateful for our ongoing partnership with the City of Huntsville, who helped prepare the area and support this safety improvement.
Please note:
- The road will be closed only during school hours
- After school, traffic will reopen and flow as normal
Thank you to our families, neighbors, and community for your understanding and support as we continue prioritizing student safety.

🧬 Sixth grade scientists in Mr. Stirn’s class put their genetics knowledge to the test this week! Students used Punnett squares to determine dominant and recessive traits — then brought their results to life by drawing unique “people” based on their genetic combinations. 🎨👩🔬 Such a fun and creative way to explore heredity and traits!
Student Council volunteers participated in the White Table Ceremony at Friday’s Veterans’ Day Assembly! We proudly honor those who are serving or who have served our country in the United States Military. 🇺🇸 Go, Air Force! Go, Army! Go, Marines! Go, Navy! 🇺🇸

🎨💻🖼️ On Friday, students from Computer Aided Design, Advanced Art, and History Club took a field trip to Crystal Bridges Museum! They explored incredible art exhibits, gained inspiration, and connected their classroom learning to the world of art and design. What an inspiring day surrounded by creativity and history! 🌟
🎣 Outdoor Ed students have been reeling in some excitement — and some BIG bass! 🐟👏 Last week, a few of our young anglers showed off their fishing skills and landed some impressive catches. Way to go, Outdoor Ed! 🌳💪
