Get ready for an electrifying evening at IB Night at Hernandez Middle School on May 18 from 5–7 pm. This isn’t just a showcase—it’s a full-on celebration of curiosity, creativity, and the power of learning brought to life. Students have taken what they explore in class and transformed it into hands‑on projects, interactive displays, and real‑world problem‑solving that shows exactly why the IB spirit is something special.

Expect energy. Expect imagination. Expect to walk away impressed by how boldly these kids think and how confidently they turn ideas into action. It’s the kind of night that reminds you what young minds can do when they’re encouraged to explore, question, and create.

SNEAK PEAK!

Join us for IB Night on May 18th, 5–7 pm, and step into a world where math jumps off the page and into real life. Our 6th, 7th, and 8th‑grade students have turned everyday moments—shopping, travel, college, design, gaming, and more—into dynamic math investigations. It’s hands‑on, eye‑opening, and a celebration of what learning looks like when students take the lead!

You're looking at 6th grade math students working on geometric area designs, 7th grade math students calculating surface area and volume by building their own structures, and 8th grade math students finding ways in everyday life that prove Pythagoras was right about his theorem.
