U.S. News & World Report - Best Middle School

We are excited to announce that Hamlin has been ranked #384 out of the more than 23,000 Public Middle schools nation-wide evaluated by the U.S. News and World Report. As a result of Hamlin's high ranking, we have earned eligibility to display a U.S. News Best Middle Schools award badge. Badge eligibility recognizes educational excellence, as described here.

We are so proud of our students, teachers, and staff for their hard work and dedication to learning to earn such a prestigious award!

Mrs. Cazares' ELA: Interactive & Immersive Learning

Mrs. Cazares' 7th grade ELA students embarked on a unique learning experience using the META Oculus to virtually explore Anne Frank's Annex following their novel White Bird by R. J. Palacio.

Immersed in the historical setting, they were able to walk through the secret rooms where Anne and her family hid during World War II. This virtual exploration brought history to life in a way that books and videos alone could not, deepening their understanding of Anne Frank’s life and the historical context of her diary.

Pajama & Hat Fundraiser - January 15th, 2025

Students can turn in $1.00 to wear either pajamas or a hat to school on January 15th. Don't miss out on the fun and comfortable day.
