My Students

Students here represent a wide variety of cultures, ethnic groups, orientations, religions, and genders. The entire campus has over 600 students from various neighborhoods.

These kids are going through a lot of mental stress and anxiety, these are volatile times and many kids are experiencing trauma.

We're focusing on SEL and a PBIS system that helps all community members. Our middle school has many academic programs to choose from that help students with academics, leadership, and growth mindset skills. Students are continuously looking for ways to break away from the norms, to learn and experience new things.

What I love most about offering students these resources is seeing how motivated they are to learn and complete projects.

My Project

eSports is a relatively new focus for students and coaches. In West Contra Costa, we're just getting our first league together and schools are forming teams.

At HMS, we've now got about a dozen students on the eSports team and hopefully, it will continue growing.

Students play in groups of three during matches, and the league has chosen Rocket League as the first game to focus on. Students are very excited about this new direction in sports and that they are now part of a team!

Help our middle school students be competitive, as students move into high school their performance on their teams could lead to scholardships and more. Help support eSports!
