About the school
Fannie Lou Hamer Middle School is a small school where students develop skills to work effectively, think critically, and act compassionately so that they can advocate for themselves and their communities as they go out into the world. We will offer a new Dual Language English/Spanish program for incoming 6th graders that we are very excited about for Fall 2024. At FLHMS, we believe that work in school should not only help students master the standards for each grade, but should also be relevant to their lives and represent authentic opportunities to use their knowledge and skills to make a difference in the community. Each student builds a portfolio over their three years at FLHMS, presenting selected pieces from the portfolio and Roundtables twice a year in each grade for feedback from other students, teachers, and family and community members. Students gain important speaking and presentation skills during Roundtables and have the opportunity to see how their work in middle school is applicable to the work they will do in high school, college, and their future careers. Before leaving FLHMS, each student has the opportunity to engage in a wide range of opportunities from participating performance and visual art productions, being a member of a sports and academic teams, and taking college and overnight trips out of the city.
