The students have a special bond that is evident in they way that they respectfully interact with one another, especially as they participate in project critiques. They have learned to give feedback to one another which encourages academic growth. Student achievement is evident in the quality writing that takes place in her classroom. Mrs. Keith shares ideas with her team and welcomes peer observations. Mrs. Keith has served as a TAP Mentor and makes a positive difference in the quality of instruction that takes place at HWMS.

We cannot express the pride we had when watching our students perform for the Black History Program on Thursday, February 28. Our audience was in awe at the program! We would especially like to thank the Black History Program Committee: Michelle Hampton, Laqualla Hart, Sarah DeWeese, Chasity Joseph, and Mrs. Jessie Hart. These ladies did an excellent job in the preparation and development of the program. Mr. Lamar Marshall said, “I saw students inspired and ready for great things.” Our guest speaker, Mr. Louis Joseph, addressed our students about the history of Black History Month as well as expressing to them the importance of their education. It was a day in which memories were made. What an awesome day at HWEM!
