Good Evening Hawks!
This is Principal Curtis Mitcham, calling with important information for Mount Holly Middle School families.
As we begin a new school year, we are excited to introduce our 2026–2027 school theme: Let's Grow. Every Hawk. Every Day. Growth doesn't happen by chance, it happens through purpose, perseverance, and a commitment to becoming better each day.
This year, we challenge every member of the Mount Holly Middle School family to embrace the mindset of continuous improvement. Whether you are a student, teacher, support staff member, administrator, or parent, we all have opportunities to learn, lead, and grow. Our theme reminds us that success is not measured solely by grades, test scores, or accomplishments. True success is found in the progress we make, the relationships we build, the challenges we overcome, and the impact we have on others. Our commitment is simple: Every Hawk. Every Day.
Every student deserves opportunities to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and as a leader. Every staff member commits to growing professionally, building meaningful relationships, and creating learning experiences that inspire students to reach their full potential. Every day is another opportunity to improve, encourage someone else, and make Mount Holly Middle School stronger than it was yesterday. As we move through this school year, our theme will guide our classrooms, our conversations, our celebrations, and our decisions.
Every lesson taught, every relationship built, every challenge overcome, and every success celebrated will remind us why we are here. Together, we will continue to build a school where everyone belongs, everyone matters, and everyone grows. We are looking forward to a great 26-27 school year.
Our 7th & 8th Grade Open House will also be held on Monday, August 10, from 4:30–6:00 PM. Students and families will have the opportunity to meet teachers, visit classrooms, and get ready for another great year at MHMS.
The first day of school is Wednesday, August 12, and we are looking forward to seeing all of our Hawks back on campus! Our doors open at 7:45am and the day will end at 3:30. On Wednesday, students will be bringing home a student Information packet. Please fill that out and send it back to your child’s homeroom teacher by Friday, August 14th.
This year, Chromebooks will be assigned to students for instructional use but will remain at school. Students will begin each morning in homeroom, where they will pick up their assigned Chromebooks. They will return to homeroom at the end of the day to turn them in. Chromebooks will only be sent home when necessary, such as during inclement weather or other circumstances requiring remote learning.
Parents, please reference the Student/Parent Handbook and Bus Information provided in the digital version of this message. This will give you important information you need to know regarding MHMS. Our students will be going over this at school as well.
Be sure to follow the Mount Holly Middle School, MHMS Athletics, and MHMS PTO pages for important updates, reminders, and school news, Thank you for supporting our school. Have a great evening and Go Hawks!
