HMS is a great small-town public area. Overall, I think the teachers and staff are very welcoming and it is a positive environment. Like any school, there are some downs, but for the most part I would recommend to anyone in the area or looking to move.

My experience of going to this school was only okay. There wasn't anything that stuck out to me that was really great or terrible. After attending college after going to this school, I could see that the school never gave us a great education. Our education there was only mediocre, having that said, I would have preferred to attend a different school.

Although the sports teams are not the best, they still have spirit and drive to keep playing. The fields and courts are always kept nice and clean. The school seems to have a higher want to do well athletically rather than academically.
