Our School

WE ARE HDMS!

These three words represent much more than a slogan—they represent the culture we are building together. At High Desert Middle School, we believe every student deserves to feel safe, supported, challenged, and valued. We are committed to creating a school where students are encouraged to take risks, learn from mistakes, celebrate success, and grow into confident young adults.

Our belief is simple:

Together we learn. Together we grow.

This year also brings exciting opportunities for learning with the implementation of our new Core and Flex schedule. This schedule provides dedicated time for teachers to respond to student learning through additional support, reteaching, intervention, and enrichment. Every student learns differently, and this schedule gives us greater flexibility to meet students where they are while helping them reach their full potential.

We also know that student success depends on a strong partnership between school and home. We encourage families to stay connected by communicating with teachers, monitoring student progress through ParentVUE, and participating in school activities whenever possible. When schools and families work together, students thrive.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. It is truly an honor to serve this community, and I am excited to continue this journey with many familiar faces while welcoming new families into the HDMS family.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

WE ARE HDMS!

Together we learn. Together we grow.
