🐉 Great things are happening at HMS! Operation UNITE, in collaboration with Harlan FRYSC and the Partner for Rural Impact worked together to provide “On the Move” which is a drug education and prevention initiative at 7th and 10th grade students. The students were educated about the dangers of making poor choices related the use of alcohol and other drugs. Students were further challenged to operate simulation cars while wearing visual impairment googles. Thank you Operation UNITE for a great program!









🐉🐉 Great things are happening at HMS! Recently, PRI funded the opportunity to begin a LEGO Robotics Team at HMS. Select students in 5th and 6th grade with the help of Mrs. Howard and Mr. Dickenson are working to build a team to assemble a robot and complete missions towards the chance of competing at the Regional Tournament in Hazard in December!
This is another great experience for students as we aim to continue to give them more opportunities here at school. We are thankful for the help from PRI and the work that Mrs. Howard and Mr. Dickenson have put in to make this opportunity possible!

We appreciate everyone who brought items, and most of all, we are proud of our students for stepping up to help others in their time of need. We want to extend a special thank you to the Harlan County Friends of Animals Shelter for their large and generous donation.
The supplies you donated to Hurricane Helene victims were delivered today. In partnership with Evergreen Church, our supplies were delivered to the Bristol Motor Speedway. As the church gains more space, supplies will be readily available. Thank you for your donations! It’s a great day to be a Dragon! 🐉
