Yesterday, South Elementary and the HHS Veterans Appreciation Club @hhsvac welcomed local veterans for a morning of gratitude, beginning with breakfast and followed by a Veteran’s Day ceremony led by our students. This Veteran’s Day, we pause to honor veterans in our community and across the nation, both past and present. Thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and service to our country, allowing us to live with the freedoms we hold close today. 🇺🇸

Core values of inclusivity and belonging are at the heart of everything we do. ❤️🖤 Unified Sports is a perfect display of these values, and we’re so grateful to see it thriving at HMS! 👏

HMS Unified Bocce Ball players recently participated in their first-ever Jamboree, where middle school Unified programs from across the South Shore came together to compete in sport.

Our middle schoolers are learning how to be responsible citizens by practicing digital responsibility and making good choices online. 💻 Thank you to Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth O’Connell and the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office for bringing the Cybersense presentation to HMS! 👏

“Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” — President John F. Kennedy 🇺🇸 Last week, our 8th graders took these words to heart as they presented their student-led civic action projects to the community. Students have worked hard over the past month to explore different civic issues that matter to them. Topics included improving cell reception in downtown Hingham, improving school lunches, and increasing student involvement in curriculum decisions. Through brainstorming, building consensus, researching root causes, and developing action plans, they have shown what it means to be active, engaged, and responsible citizens. The future is bright for the leaders of the Class of 2029. 👏

Our littlest graduates have officially completed Pre-K and are ready for their next big adventure! 🎓 Congratulations to the Class of 2038! We are so proud of you all!

Hingham Middle School students took the stage to demonstrate their talent in this year’s Poetry Out Loud contest. ELA teachers in all three grades invited volunteers to select a poem that spoke to them, memorize it, and rehearse their delivery for the contest. Congratulations to our winners and to all who stepped up to the mic! 👏
