Attention HMS Parents/Guardians: Today, HMS students practiced an evacuation drill and gathered at a safe and secure environment away from school grounds. The scenario for our drill today was a “potential gas leak.” Please speak to your student about the drill and help them to reflect on the reasons why such drills occur. I appreciate your ongoing support as we work thru a series of drills throughout the school year.
Sincerely,
Kyley Gatz
Principal

The high school invited our seventh and eighth graders to their Career Expo on Wednesday morning where they had the opportunity to visit with a wide variety of community business professionals. In the afternoon, the middle school hosted their own Career Fair! There, our students attended three small-group presentations in the vocational areas that most interested them.
Huge thanks to all the community members who shared their time and talents with our students!! (We apologize for not having a picture of Stacy Jasper, the Hiawatha Parks & Recreation Director. Mrs. Krauter was paying too much attention to snap a photo, she said. ) :)
Special thanks goes to high school Counselor Jenny Dunn and middle school Counselor Kim Krauter for coordinating the events.
Thank you to all the presenters at the High School this morning for sharing your time and talents at the Career Expo. Our middle schoolers enjoyed being included!!
HMS is proud to announce the October winners of the State Farm Citizenship Award, sponsored by State Farm Insurance- Ryan Meininger.
