Principal's Message
March brings a lot of excitement for our students because they know spring is right around the corner. But, there is also a lot of curriculum to cover, so Haut Gap Middle Schools' students and staff will utilize these final weeks to get it done! Please encourage your child to work to their fullest potential as we spring ahead together.
