At Hemlock Middle School, we are working to make sure our students are high school, college and career ready. Developing skills in these four areas are critically important: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking.

Our staff works hard to provide diverse opportunities for students to build their skills, including leadership groups like student council, music, art, and movement (physical fitness).

It’s opportunities like these that give our students time to practice and grow these essential skills.

And how would you see this happening?

• You’d see students presenting their ideas to each other.

• You’d see students on different instruments playing a piece of music together.

• You’d see students demonstrating how they solved a problem.

• You’d see students recording their work so they can take ownership of their progress and be able to reference it later.

As in life – and especially at the middle school level – every student is unique and possesses their own personal ideas, feelings, and attitudes. We give our students a variety of ways to express their creativity at HMS with music, art, leadership groups and movement.
