March 28- April 1, 2022
Dear Gladiator Families,
Hello Gladiator Nation!!
We has such a busy week at HGMS. I was able to see students working on plays in Theatre, working on aerodynamic cars in CTE, ran a 5K in the Garcia Fun Run, participated in a debate in ELA, and watched athletes being pushed hard by coaches in athletics!!! It is so great to see ALL of our Gladiators with smiles on their faces, enjoying time in each class; both academic and electives.
Our Garcia Family Fiesta was a HIT. A huge thank you to our PTA, Counselors, Student Council, Coaches, Custodians, Ms. McFarlane, The Just For Fun Band, Mr. G, Mrs. Menchaca, and sooo many others for helping us put on such an enjoyable event! We are already planning for next year!
Congratulations to both our boys and girls Track and Field teams!! They both finished first, in both 7th and 8th grade, this past week and are ready for the Meet of Champions!!! Go Gladiators!
Attention 8th Grade Parents - the 8th Grade Field Trip to Fiesta Texas is in the works! The field trip is tentatively set for May 20th. Tickets for the trip will be approximately $28.99 plus tax. It might be a good time to invest in that season pass! Students will be allowed to use their season pass for the field trip. More details to come as we get closer to the event.
Our
Book Fair could use some parent volunteers! Please click below to help out:

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
