As Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month comes to a close, we’re excited to spotlight Hingham Middle School’s fantastic after school workshop series that took place this past month as part of One Book, One School. The activities focused on celebrating the arts and culture of Asians and Pacific Islanders in America. Students had the opportunity to explore hands-on traditions like Chinese ink blowing, calligraphy, Japanese flower arranging (Ikebana), and origami. Many of the workshops were led by HMS students of AAPI descent who generously shared their personal traditions and stories with the school community.

Last week, our 5th graders spent the day at Hingham Middle School for Move Up Day!
They explored their future school, met some of their teachers, and heard from Principal Derek Smith about what a typical day is like at HMS. He shared what to expect in 6th grade and all the exciting after school clubs students can join.
They also took part in a scavenger hunt, discovering important spots like the guidance office and the nurse's office while starting to feel more at home in their new school.
We loved having you, Class of 2032. We cannot wait to see you at HMS this fall!

The 7th Grade Olympics were an absolute blast today! Barracudas, Pirates, and Sharks brought their A-game, making it a day full of excitement, teamwork, and unforgettable fun!
Our 8th graders had an unforgettable time in Washington, D.C. over April vacation! 🇺🇸 They visited Arlington National Cemetery, Capitol Hill, the White House, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the MLK Memorial, and more. Visiting D.C. is an important part of the 8th grade social studies experience at HMS, helping bring their lessons to life.
Shoutout to all of our amazing chaperones who joined our students on this incredible trip! ✈️
