It's going to be a fantastic year! I can't wait to get to know your student and form great relationships with each of their families. There are so many great things happening at HMS and I am so excited to be a part of the HMS family. I am honored to serve as your principal as we start the 24-25 school year.

I want you to know I have an open door for you and want to be a partner with you in your child's education through middle school. It is such an important time of transition for them from elementary to high school. Together we can do great things!

Welcome to HMS!
