About Us
OUR MISSION
Hawtree Creek Middle School students will graduate as leaders equipped with a set of skills and body of knowledge that can be applied and utilized in high school, college and beyond.
OUR VISION
HCMS students will be part of a collaborative community focused on developing academic and character skills that will prepare students for the demands and challenges of high school and college. Students will refine their research, communication and problem formulation skills in each content area. Each grade will build on these academic skills, enabling students to apply what they have learned as they move through middle school. Embedded in the culture of the school will be a strong focus on developing a sense of leadership, the notion of perseverance, and the ability to collaborate within our school community. These character skills will guide students as they grow as confident learners and leaders.
