Middle School

Welcome to the HCA Middle School.  These next three years will be filled with many changes.  It is a time of transition from the friendly confines of Elementary School to the beginnings of independence and exploration.  Students will experience tremendous changes physically, emotionally, spiritually and educationally.  For the first time they will have subject area teachers, huge growth spurts, strong relationships with friends and begin to develop educational direction.  In Middle School they will have more opportunities for involvement in athletics, the fine arts and leadership.  It is important to maintain a structured environment while balancing that with the understanding of the daily changes Middle Schoolers have.  We are preparing these students for the rigors of a challenging High School program.  The excitement of the Middle School years will not be forgotten, and we want to help make them years to remember.
