Heard County Middle School

Heard County Middle School houses students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades.  The campus completed in 2002, includes a gymnasium, football and softball fields, state of the art track, and a ropes course.  The ropes course gives students and adults the opportunity to function as part of a team, developing physical strength, stamina, dexterity, and confidence.  It is an integral part of the physical education curriculum at the middle school as well as being available to groups from other county schools and the community.

Students are invited to participate in activities and clubs at the middle school, including: BETA, Spelling, Science, Newspaper, Academic Team, Junior Y-Club, FBLA, SGA, Art, Chess, and 4-H.  Students may also participate in middle school Band, Softball, Football, Basketball, Wrestling, Baseball, Track and Cheerleading.

Middle School students use an automated circulation system in the media center, read for comprehension with the Accelerated Reader Program, research projects with recommended book selections, and utilize the Encarta Encyclopedia on CD-ROM and the Galileo database.  Also, Heard Middle is proud of their Wireless Laptop Lab, new Computer Lab, and new Hands-on Science Encore Lab.

HCMS has made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the fourth consecutive year, is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and is proud to have been recognized as a "Distinguished Title I School" in 2007.
