Hellstern Middle School

Girls and boys basketball teams putting in the work today! Way to go Heroes. We can’t wait to see how the summer work pays off next year.

Save the date and share with any future Heroes you know! We are dividing locker day based on the last name of your child to help with the long lines. However, if you need to come at a different time than assigned...no problem! We can't wait to see you all!

Let's welcome Mrs. Gresham to our HMS family! She will join us as a registrar/financial secretary.

"Hello, My name is Shauna Gresham! I'm thrilled to be joining Hellstern MS as the new Registrar! For several years, I taught lower elementary grades in NY, OK and AR. I enjoy game nights with friends, hiking, traveling and live music! I'm looking forward to this new journey and ready to meet all of the Hellstern Hero parents, students and staff! I'll see you soon!"

Let's welcome Mrs. Rico to the HMS family! She will be our new attendance secretary.

"Hi everyone! My name is Patricia Rico, and I am so excited to be joining the Helstern team!

I’m a mom to a 14-year-old and an 11-year-old, and my husband and I have been married for 17 years. We also have two dogs and a backyard full of chickens that keep life interesting and fun!
I currently work in education technology while attending the University of Arkansas. My long-term goal is to become a GT teacher, and I’m passionate about helping students grow, explore, and feel successful.

I’m incredibly excited for this new chapter and cannot wait to meet everyone and be part of such an amazing team!"

Teachers are learners too! HMS is a model PLC school, and it was great to be back at A PLC institute learning and growing together.

Eric is the receipient of our Hellstern PTO scholarship! He excelled as a Hero and has continued to excel academically and as a leader. Look at all of those medals and cords! Congratulations as you continue your education at the U of A! Once a Hero…always a Hero! We are proud of you Eric! 💛❤️ Thank you to our PTO for celebrating and supporting our students.

Let’s welcome Mr. Paul back to the HMS family! He’ll be teaching 6th-grade Social Studies.

Hello Hellstern Family! My name is Stephen Paul, and after a two year stint in the business world, I'm back and will be continuing where I left off as a social studies teacher at Hellstern.
I was born in Northwest Arkansas, grew up in Oklahoma, and then graduated from the UofA with my bachelors, and then Harding with my masters. My beautiful wife Sarah is at Young Elementary with my two boys Micah, and Theo. Then I will be joining my daughter Emerson at Hellstern. I have been an Avenger, Titan, Defender, and Champion.... and I am excited to see which team I will be on next!
I was able to be a part of the incredible culture of Hellstern once before and I am so excited to jump back in with the incredible Hellstern team and make learning engaging, inspiring, encouraging, and fun! See you soon!

Olympian awards! 💛

Good luck Coach James and the Har-Ber softball team!! Go win state! 🏆 🥎
