March 14- March 18 , 2022
Dear Gladiator Families,
Hello Gladiator Nation!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful, restful Spring Break!! We look forward to finishing our school year strong!
We will have our first annual Garcia Family Fiesta on March 25 from 6-8pm! We will have about 6 food trucks, two bands, oversized yard games, kickball games and more! We look forward to having our community out to picnic on the football field and enjoy time with your community. This is a free event (vendors will accept cards and cash, school sales will be cash only). During our event we will also have our book fair open in the library and our very own Dr. Woods will be providing the community an NISD Bond presentation in the gym. Please see the information below regarding the set up and details for our event!
Boys soccer tryouts will be held March 28th, 29th, and 31st. 7th grade will tryout in the morning and 8th grade will tryout after school. 7th grade athletes will need to be dropped off in the bus loop at 6:50am for tryouts. 8th grade athletes will need to be picked up in the bus loop by 5:30pm for tryouts. Athletes will wear their athletics/p.e. uniform for tryouts with black soccer socks. Athletes need to make sure they have the proper cleats and shin guards for trying out. Football and baseball cleats are acceptable as long they are not metal cleats or baseball spikes. All required paperwork needs to be completed before trying out. If you have any questions please contact Coach Gonzalez or Coach Bean.
Our Book Fair could use some parent volunteers! Please click below to help out:

Please remember all volunteers must undergo a background check and can complete this on the NISD website.
We want to congratulate Mrs. Settles and the HGMS choir who scored the highest rating possible at UIL!! We are so excited for them and again shows how great our students, school and staff are! Congratulations! You can hear their award winning performances below!
We want to wish Mrs. Beck well on her new adventure at Clark HS. Mrs. Beck has been a valuable member of the HGMS nation since the school opened and we thank her for all she did for our students throughout the years. We will miss you Mrs. Beck!
We have another major announcement. WE ARE THE BEST MIDDLE SCHOOL IN NISD according to US World and News Report! We always have known this, but now it's "Facebook official"! You can access the official story here: https://www.usnews.com/education/k12/middle-schools/texas/northside-independent-school-district-113050
We are so proud of our ranking and couldn't have done it, and continue to do it, without the support of our wonderful staff, students and community! Thank you! We can't wait to display our accomplishment proudly!
Fanny Pack Friday's have begun! We have had so much fun presenting this out to our students! Here is the official video link: https://youtu.be/fck37_v8IhU
