Off to a Great Start!
It's important to begin a new school year in a positive way with clear expectations. Dr. Headen met with each class on the first day of school to set the tone for the school year. He spoke with them about new procedures and reminded them of old ones, making sure students were clear about our expectations. He asked our seniors to be good leaders and encouraged all students to get involved.
Dr. Headen also addressed freshmen and their parents at Freshman Night, welcoming them to our school. It's going to be a great year!

A Glimpse into HGHS Classrooms
Our mission at HGHS is for ALL students to learn at high levels. While these pictures just give you a small glimpse of life inside the classroom, you can see that students are engaged in learning. From hands-on activities like using pennies and different water solutions to learn how to collect and analyze data to using technology to conduct research, students are actively engaged in their learning.
Welcome Back Greetings!
Our students were welcomed back in a big way with the help of Hazel Green High School. Senior volleyball players, football players, and cheerleaders helped unload cars in the car rider line. Our bus riders were able to walk by as well so everyone got to enjoy a great start to our school year, it’s great to be part of the Trojan Nation!

Readers are Leaders!
We love when our kids get excited about reading! Several of our classroom teachers have asked friends and family to sponsor their students that will enable them to receive a new book each month. It’s the best thing to hear students say “Can we keep it?” and see their excitement over their new books. We are changing readers and changing lives!
STEAM Lab
This year we are opening a STEAM Lab for all of our students! Students will come to the lab and explore, create, work on problem solving skills, and use Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math to become innovators, educators, leaders, and learners of the future!
Kindergarten Is Learning about English-Language Arts
Mrs. Douglas is teaching her new Kindergarten class about English-Language Art through some exciting, hands-on centers. They also learned about their class library and tried out some new math centers. Our Kindergarten students are loving being at school and meeting new friends!
Third Grade Kindness
Mrs. Hall's third grade classes learned about kindness through a hands-on activity. They discussed using kind words and how you can't take back unkind words. Students compared this to putting toothpaste back in the tube.
Once the toothpaste has been squeezed out, it's like our words, you can't put them back the same way they came out. Third graders are ready to set a good example for others by always using kind words.

Recently, Mrs. McQueen and Mrs. Alexander have started the Sparkman Pep Rally Club, where students are in charge of future house rallies and fun school culture activities. Our mission is to spread kindness, excitement, and positive attitudes throughout Sparkman Middle!
