Congrats to Our Chapin Middle Volleyball Team!
What a fantastic start to the season! Our Eagles are soaring with a 3-0 record, securing big wins against Dutch Fork, Northside, and Busbee. Last Tuesday's match against Busbee was a dominant victory with three straight sets: 25-8, 25-12, 25-14. Keep it going, ladies!
Go Eagles!
Congratulations to the Chapin Middle School Band!
We are so proud of our 8th Grade Band for being selected to perform at the 2025 South Carolina Music Educators Association (SCMEA) Conference in February. This high distinction highlights Chapin Middle School Band as having one of the best band programs in the state of South Carolina. Performing at the SCMEA Conference is an honor and a privilege for our young musicians. We are incredibly proud of our CMS Band and their accomplishment!
We hope you can join us for this special performance on Saturday, February 8th, 2025 at 10:30AM in the UofSC Alumni Center located in Columbia, SC.
PBIS SHOPPING DAY
This past Wednesday, during all lunch periods, our students had their first opportunity of the school year to shop and cash in their PBIS points for fun prizes!
Don't worry if you missed out—there will be plenty more chances to earn points and shop throughout the year. Keep up the great work and stay tuned for future PBIS Shopping Days!
2024 WINGO AWARD WINNER - CONGRATULATIONS, MRS. DARLINGTON!
Congratulations to our amazing 8th grade Social Studies teacher, Mandy Darlington, on recieving the 2024 Chapin Middle "WINGO" Award! This honor, voted on by our entire faculty and staff at the beginning of each school year, recognizes a CMS faculty/staff member who exemplifies the Willingness to Inspire, Nurture, and Grow Others.
We are proud to kick off another great year with this time-honored tradition, and no one deserves this recognition more than Mrs. Darlington for her dedication and impact on our students and entire CMS community every day!
ATTA EAGLE AWARD
Shout out to our latest Atta Eagle Award winner, Dr. Huckabee! Even though Coach Thomas, our previous recipient, moved all the way to Washington state, that didn’t stop him from making a surprise video appearance at our faculty meeting to pass the Atta Eagle along to Dr. Huckabee!
The Atta Eagle Award is a fun tradition here at Chapin Middle, flying through our halls from one faculty or staff member to another in recognition of a job well done and appreciation for their contributions to our CMS family and community. Well-deserved, Dr. Huckabee!

ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH
September is Attendance Awareness Month, and showing up matters! Being in school every day is key to success, but it’s also about feeling valued. Our CMS teachers and staff go above and beyond to make our students feel important and appreciated when they are here!
