Northern Hills Middle School

Our Engineering students took learning to new heights today as they launched their rockets out on the field. There’s something about that moment when everyone looks up, waits, and then tracks it through the sky that never gets old.

Even better, Muffin got a front-row seat for the action and seemed just as locked in as the students.

Our 7th graders took a step back in time today.

They competed in Olympic-style events and even used virtual reality to “travel” to Greece.

A great mix of history, movement, and hands-on learning all in one day.

Our SciOly team is at Michigan State today competing at the state level. Grateful for the send-off and a little extra luck from Sparty. Go Huskies!

Even though we're on Spring Break, we couldn't let the week go by without recognizing Mrs. Hart for National Assistant Principals Week.

The way she shows up for our students, staff, and families every day is a big part of what makes NHMS special.

If you've had a moment with Mrs. Hart that stuck with you, drop it in the comments. We'd love for her to come back to a page full of appreciation.

This week celebrated another group of awesome Huskies of the Month! We proud of these NHMS students!

As you make dinner plans for next week, a reminder that on Monday, March 16, 10% of dine-in sales at Vitale’s of Ada will be donated to our PTO! Just make sure to mention this when ordering!

We had a great morning at Northern Hills Middle School cheering and supporting our Unified basketball team! Today was a celebration of the inclusivity that happens every day at our school. Great job by all of our athletes!

A great night for our 7th and 8th grade bands. Both groups sounded fantastic and showed how much they’ve grown this year.

Today we had the opportunity to recognize students who earned Honor Roll status for the first semester. Students who achieved a 3.3 GPA or higher were celebrated for their hard work, commitment, and strong academic performance.

We are proud of the effort these students have shown throughout the semester and appreciate the support families provide at home to help make this success possible. Congratulations to all of our Honor Roll students on a job well done.

Our students had a great time at the 3 Mile Project today. There was a lot of movement, laughter, and time spent just being kids. Whether they were playing basketball, climbing, mini golfing, or hanging out with friends, the energy was high and the smiles were constant.
