    Students from Stephanie Bakintas and Jeff Gott's AP World History classes gathered early in the morning on May 16 in preparation for their AP World History Exam.

  • HMS Donates 20 feet of hair to Locks of Love

    Posted by Heather Willden at 5/10/2013 8:55:00 AM
    Heritage Middle School (HMS) held a special Locks of Love event during the school’s final pep rally of the year. About 15 students and staff lined the gym floor and prepared to have their ponytails cut off to donate to the non-profit organization Locks of Love.
     
    At the beginning of the year, the school set a goal to collectively donate 10 feet of hair. This goal was surpassed with a donation of 20 feet. As a result of achieving their goal, one student was randomly selected to shave School Resource Officer Kyle Meeks’ head at the end of the pep rally.
     
    The HMS Special Olympians were also recognized as Guests of Honor during the pep rally—showcasing the hard work they have achieved this year.
