Welcome to Hollister Middle School

 

Hollister Middle School (HMS) is home to our 6th through 8th grade students and is a truly special place where students are valued, supported, and encouraged to become the best version of themselves. Guided by our mission—“At Hollister Middle School, we inspire students to learn, dream, and grow together”—we strive to create a learning environment where respect, character, and continuous growth are central to the student experience.

At HMS, students are academically challenged and provided with opportunities to build the skills and confidence they need to succeed in high school, college, and future careers. With strong and consistent support from our families, staff, and community, we help students explore their interests and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Our students lead by example and consistently demonstrate high character and leadership.
