Hubbard Middle School

After an exciting weekend of Olympic hockey, our middle school students had the opportunity to welcome members of the Youngstown Phantoms to Hubbard! 🏒

We are proud of Drake Hahn, Shawn McFadden, Hunter Tomory and Jaxon Wagner for representing Hubbard Middle School at the regional MATHCOUNTS competition. Competing against top area teams, HMS placed 5th overall in the Sprint, Target and Team rounds. Special congratulations to Jaxon Wagner, who earned 14th place individually in the Countdown head-to-head bracket round!

The competition was hosted by the Mahoning Valley Society of Professional Engineers in cooperation with Enbridge Gas, Inc. and YSU STEM College at Youngstown State University. Thank you to our coaches, Mrs. Congemi and Mrs. Shelby, for guiding our students! 🦅

Our 5th and 6th grade math classes took learning hands-on this week! Students practiced fractions and measurements while making and baking cookies. After spending the week preparing, today they enjoyed a taste test while watching movies. We even had some special guest bakers join the fun: Superintendent Raymond Soloman and Principal David Reel!

It truly was the most magical day of the year! Santa paid a special visit to our elementary school, thanks to our Hubbard Elementary Parent Association. Santa met individually with every kindergarten student and then visited classrooms throughout the building. Adding to the holiday cheer, our middle school choir filled the halls with carols during his visit!

We invite you to check out our First Semester Newsletter, which highlights moments and progress from across the district. This look back features updates on safety enhancements, the addition of a new school bus, technology improvements, connections being made at the middle school, and a meaningful donation made in honor of a student who passed away from cancer. Thank you to our students, staff, families and the community for your continued support as we reflect on the first semester and move forward together.

A group of Hubbard Middle School students recently rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on cooking class at TCTC, thanks to Second Harvest Food Bank’s new middle school program.

This opportunity gave students a real culinary experience, combining the art of cooking with STEM skills, creativity and teamwork to turn everyday ingredients into nutritious meals.

Along the way, students practiced essential kitchen skills like safe knife handling, sautéing, moving efficiently in the kitchen, and even washing dishes, all while sharing plenty of smiles and laughs! 🍳🥕
