Houston Middle School Math Camp is a great opportunity for students to build confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and get comfortable with the expectations of middle school math before the first day of school. Mrs. Gunnell and Mrs. Timmerman will guide students through engaging activities designed to help them feel prepared, capable, and ready for a successful transition to 6th grade.

Spaces are limited, so don't wait to reserve your child's spot.

Our National Junior Honor Society students showed what Mustang leadership looks like in action at the Mid-South Food Bank!

This amazing crew created 250 food boxes, sorted 2,385 pounds of food, and helped prepare 2,862 meals for families in our community. We are so proud of these students for using their time and talents to serve others with kindness, teamwork, and heart.

Next stop: middle school

Fifth graders got a firsthand look at what’s ahead during Preview Day: touring classrooms, meeting student ambassadors, and learning all about life as a sixth grader. From questions to confidence, the future is looking bright!

There are two kinds of people in the world: the ones who walk past a problem, and the ones who pop a storm drain and fix it.

Mr. Ringo? Definitely the second kind.

When a very stressed momma duck started sounding the alarm, most of us would’ve just thought, “quack right back atcha.” Not Mr. Ringo. He paid attention, realized her brand new ducklings were trapped in the storm drain, and got to work. Grate off, plan in motion, calm under pressure, like it was just another Tuesday.

And just like that, a full family reunion. Tiny peeps, big relief, and one very grateful momma duck.

Proof that sometimes being a hero looks less like a cape and more like knowing when to step in and help… even if your audience is a bunch of very loud, very tiny critics.

We’re lucky to have people like Mr. Ringo around here.

Order in the court… HMS understood the assignment.

A recent “Toontown Trial” turned Ms. Howard’s forensic science class and Ms. Brooks’ career exploration class into a full-blown courtroom drama—and let’s just say, these students did not come to play.

We had prosecutors building their case, defense attorneys poking holes in every detail, a judge keeping things (mostly) under control, and a jury that had to sit through all of it and actually decide who did it. No pressure.

From analyzing evidence to delivering arguments that would make a TV lawyer proud, students got a hands-on look at what careers in law, forensics, and criminal justice really feel like… and it’s a lot more than just dramatic objections and pointing fingers.

The verdict?
Guilty of being one of the coolest cross-curricular collaborations we’ve seen.

Huge shoutout to Ms. Howard and Ms. Brooks for making learning this engaging—and to our student attorneys and jurors who may or may not be planning their future law firm names already.
