Welcome to Houston Middle School

Middle school sets the stage for a student's future as an adult. It is a critical link to the student's successful transition to high school and higher education. Houston Middle School teachers and support staff work in partnership to provide a rigorous and challenging curriculum. To meet the developmental needs of students, we provide a core of standards-based curricula in reading/language arts, mathematics, history/social science, science, and physical education. Instruction at HMS is grounded in state-of-the-art research-based practices.

The curriculum of Houston Middle School encourages students to become inquisitive learners, to grasp a wide variety of academic skills, and to become productive young adults. Houston Middle School students meet high expectations in today's basic skills of reading/language arts, mathematics, science, social science, and to read, write, and speak clearly, persuasively and appropriate, and also listen actively. The schedule at Houston Middle School has been constructed in recognition of the fact that we do not all learn at the same pace. We have devoted one hundred and eight minutes a week to provide students with opportunities to demonstrate mastery and receive additional instruction in the areas they demonstrate a need.

At Houston Middle School we believe that all students can learn at high levels. Furthermore, as a faculty, we accept the collective responsibility for ensuring learning happens. We appreciate the opportunity to learn alongside your child.
