Dear Students and Families,
Welcome to another exciting year at Harlem Middle School! We are thrilled to begin the 2026-2027 school year and look forward to partnering with you to make this a year filled with learning, growth, achievement, and memorable experiences.
At HMS, we believe every student can succeed when supported by strong relationships, high expectations, and a positive school culture. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing engaging learning opportunities while creating a safe and supportive environment where all students can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
As we begin the new school year, we encourage every student to embrace our HMS values and live out The Bulldog Promise each day:
Respectful - in my words and actions.
Responsible - for my choices and learning.
Ready - to learn, grow, and welcome opportunity each day.
This promise serves as the foundation of our school community and reflects the expectations we have for all Bulldogs to be inspired both inside and outside the classroom.
We encourage students to get involved, challenge themselves academically, build positive relationships, and take advantage of the many opportunities available at HMS. Families play an essential role in student success, and we appreciate your partnership as we work together to support every child throughout the school year.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We look forward to an outstanding year of learning, growth, and building the Bulldog Promise. Together, we will make the 2026-2027 school year a success!
Go Bulldogs!
Valery Reed, Principal
Harlem Middle School
