HIXSON MIDDLE SCHOOL

The Principal's Message

Welcome to Hixson Middle School. We are a school of 500 students in grades six through eight. Our school has a deep history in the community, as it was established in the late 1800's. We are excited that plans were recently unveiled for a new Hixson Middle School that will be close to Hixson High School.

Hixson Middle School provides blocks of 90 minutes for academic core subjects. In the eighth grade students have the opportunity to gain high school credit for Algebra I, Physical Science, Careers Management Systems, Spanish and Chorus. Two blocks of 45 minutes are dedicated to a variety of exploratory courses: Spanish, Physical Education & Health, Bible, art, technology, music, chorus, band and orchestra. H.M.S. has maintained its accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools since 1959. Our school provides a rigorous curriculum to prepare our students for high school and college.

We have an outstanding faculty and staff that provide a safe, positive, and welcoming environment for our students. Our faculty collaborates and plans together to best meet the needs of each student. We are committed to helping each student discover his or her own talents and to provide the support and guidance to ensure success for all. As you come to visit our classrooms, we hope you will discover that the following quote represents us well.


Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.
-- W. B. Yeats


It is with pleasure that I welcome the students, parents and community to Hixson Middle School. Please join us in our quest to ensure that every student experiences success, grows with respect, perseverance, integrity, and pride.

Sincerely,
Sandy Barnwell, Principal
