A Message from the Principal!

Our Student Council was able to tour the Sumner-Ramer Memorial School on Thursday. They watched a documentary about the history of the school, listened to a presentation from former Ramer students, Leonard Harris and Helen Harris, and then had an opportunity to browse the artifacts in the museum. Thank you to Berkeley County Schools for this fantastic learning opportunity!

The student council is preparing to host a book fair in March. In order to make this happen, we need to collect gently used books from the community to sell to the students at a reasonable price. If you have any gently used, school - appropriate books for middle schoolers that you are willing to donate, please drop them off at the school. All books can be brought in by students or placed in the collection box right inside the front door of our building. We will be collecting books until March 14th. Please email Mrs. Hutchinson at kaylee.hutchinson@k12.wv.us if you have any questions.

We hope this message finds you well! We have some important information and reminders tailored specifically for our 8th-grade class.

On February 5th, Hedgesville Middle School will have a guest speaker presenting with the eighth graders about an opportunity called HSTA (Health Science and Technology Academy). Please be sure to have your child attend school that day and bring their listening ears. Attached is the application for the HSTA program and some FAQs about the program.

1. What is HSTA?

HSTA, the Health Sciences & Technology Academy, is a health, science, technology, and math program headquartered in the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center of West Virginia University with regional offices across the state to provide academic enrichment and orientation to careers in the health sciences for students in grades 9 - 12.

2. Why Does It Exist?

West Virginia, like many other states, has a severe shortage of health professionals such as doctors, nurses, forensic pathologists, x-ray technicians, and physical therapists, as well as scientists and science educators. HSTA offers educational activities designed to improve academic skills and increase students’ chances of success in college. HSTA’s goal is to increase the number of high school students from rural communities who pursue health and science-related careers and return to provide services in their communities.

3. What Will HSTA Do For My Child?

Students who complete four years of HSTA and its requirements receive a WV Tuition Waiver. It is not money or a scholarship; but an agreement by WV state-run colleges to forgive tuition, or a portion of tuition, for HSTA scholars. This agreement does not apply to private schools, out-of-state schools, or hospital programs. This program can save your child $10,000-100,000 dollars of tuition.

4. How Much Does HSTA Cost?

This program is completely free. All activities are completely free. Everything about HSTA is free.
