In fact, every walkway at the new HMS is covered, and each of the grades are separated from the others. Sixth-grade students have been in the remodeled portion of the new HMS since August. The sixth-graders moved over here in August. Rain or shine, we had to do that every day. The good news is that they will not have to cross that street anymore, except to play tennis at the tennis courts.
Students also are excited about the new school.
According to Brandon Malondy, a sixth-grader at HMS, the new school is bigger and better than the old school. The cafeteria is larger with separate dining and serving sections. The band room is larger with numerous adjoining storage rooms. The science classrooms are much larger with extremely large closets and indoor laboratories, which according to Marlene Burgman, eighth-grade science teacher, is great. Even the computer lab is much bigger than before and the computers have been upgraded.
