HCSS Middle School

Our 8th grade students had an amazing day at Rocky Neck State Park enjoying the beach, spending time with friends, and making lasting memories together! It was a great day filled with fun, laughter, and sunshine as students celebrated the end of the school year outdoors.

We would like to recognize the Hampden Fliers team for their outstanding performance at the West Virginia Regional Championship. The team did an amazing job in their very first year of competition.

The students showed excellent teamwork throughout the event and worked hard on the autonomous portion of the competition. Their coding eventually worked successfully with all parts of the field, and we are incredibly proud of their dedication and perseverance. The students also delivered an outstanding performance in the piloting section throughout the season and during the competition. Thanks to their efforts, the team tied for 7th place in the Skills Mission category. This is an incredible achievement!

We would also like to thank our school and our amazing parents for their support. They were there with us every step of the way, encouraging and supporting us throughout the competition. Your encouragement helped make this experience possible.

Congratulations to the Hampden Fliers team on an outstanding season and an unforgettable first year of competition!
