L. Thomas Heck Middle School

Today we said “see you later” to our 8th graders as they move on to high school. We will miss our 8th graders dearly but we are so excited for their futures!

6th grade scientists worked collaboratively to build roller coasters. Their goal was for a marble to pass through successfully. Lots of trial runs and rebuilds happened to meet the goal. The PRIDE persisted!

Ms. Lair’s seventh grade scientist dissected frogs this week. Learning conversations were on point as the students take educated guesses as to what was what. Mr. Ingram even joined in on the fun!

Ms. Johnson’s 7th grade science class experienced frog dissections this week. So fun!

Tonight LTH hosted the district’s Pride Awards and Retirement ceremony. Our very own Coach Lytle and Mrs. Newkirk won the Pride awards! We love our specials team and these two have stepped many times for our school family this year!

Our select choir also sang the National Anthem and they did amazing! Thank you Mrs. Shafer for leading their performance.

Today we honored our Springs sports! We are so proud of all of our athletes!

L. Thomas Heck Middle School PTO spoiled our staff with a yummy lunch from Rudy’s!

We also want to thank the Lewis family for the yummy breakfast. Our staff ate well today!

Today we welcomed 5th graders who will be 6th graders at LTH next year on campus. They came from Barbara B. Robey, Dreaming Summit and Palm Valley. It was a fun filled day with lots of excitement. Can’t wait to have these future PRIDE members here in August!

The Lady Pride fought hard in the semi finals and fell a little short. We are so proud of their effort, heart and determination! Thanks for a great season ladies!🦁

Congrats to Kelcie Christofferson, our LTH teacher of the year!!!

Ms. Christofferson is our drama teacher and she goes above and beyond for our PRIDE family. This year she has directed a musical (two plays coming this Spring), hosts a lunch bunch for students, took over a homeroom class and countless other helpful things around campus.

Ms. Johnson’s 7th grade scientists were creating convection currents. Students were able to see how convection causes hot air/fluid to rise and cold air/fluid to sink. This is their introduction to plate tectonics.

The PRIDE loves and appreciates our bus drivers!
