The NCNW Okolona Section stopped by Houston Middle School to spread a little joy and appreciation! 💐 They presented Ms. Upshaw with a beautiful basket of goodies in recognition of the hard work, dedication, and love that teachers pour into their students every single day.
👏 Congratulations, Ms. Upshaw — and thank you to NCNW Okolona for honoring our teachers in such a thoughtful way!

Our students had a blast 💥 playing BUNK while reviewing unit rate. Learning is always better when it’s fun, interactive, and full of energy 📚.




Mrs. Katie Johnson’s 6th-grade science students have been learning how to classify cells. They studied the different organelles and the job each one performs. To review, the students created edible cells. It was a fun and memorable way to bring science to life—and a tasty one too! 🧬🔬🍬










Congratulations to Ms. Brittany Horn and Ms. Beth Duncan, our HMS Featured Faculty of the Month! 🌟 Their hard work, dedication, and love for students make a lasting impact at Houston Middle School each day.
We also want to give a special thank you to El Veracruz and Sonic of Houston for generously donating gifts to celebrate our outstanding faculty. We’re grateful for the support of our community partners who help us recognize the great work happening at HMS!

HMS School Day Pictures will be taken on Wednesday, September 3, 2025.



🚀🥚💡 Our 8th Grade Computer Science & Engineering students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test this week with an Egg Drop Challenge! Students designed and engineered constructs to protect an egg dropped from an elevated position—all while applying their knowledge of Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion and key physics concepts learned in class.
It was an exciting way to bring science to life, and we are proud of the innovation and teamwork our students showed! 👏 🐐

Language Skills in Action!
At HMS, our EL students are taking on a school-wide scavenger hunt that challenges their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. They’re exploring, learning, and having a blast all at once—way to go, HMS learners!

🎉 Work Hard, Play Hard! 🎉
Our students had an amazing time at Incredible Pizza! After all of their dedication and hard work in the classroom, it was the perfect opportunity to relax, laugh, and have fun together. From games to rides — and of course, plenty of pizza 🍕 — memories were made that we’ll cherish for a long time.
At HMS, we believe in balancing academics with opportunities to celebrate success

Learn how Title I helps our students thrive! Come to the HMS Cafeteria on August 19th at 5:30 pm.


This is awesome! 🎉 The Beta Club is a great opportunity for students — it recognizes academic achievement, leadership, character, and service. Having it at our school not only gives students a chance to be honored for their hard work but also helps them develop skills through community service and leadership activities.


🔥 Grudgeball in Action! 🔥
Today in Mr. Gates’ class at Houston Middle School, students reviewed ratios with an exciting game of Grudgeball! Similar to the popular classroom game Trashketball, Grudgeball keeps everyone on their toes with a twist — when a team answers a question correctly, they earn a point and get the chance to take points away from other teams.
Students could also shoot a basket for an extra point, making the game fast-paced, competitive, and full of energy. It’s a creative way to practice math skills while building teamwork, strategy, and a little friendly rivalry!
