It is with heartfelt pride that I welcome you to a brand-new school year at Hernando Middle School.  I am honored to serve as the principal of HMS, home of the Tigers.  At HMS, we continue to uphold the highest standards of excellence, integrity, growth, and leadership in all that we do. These values are at the heart of our culture and the foundation for student success, both in and out of the classroom.  As we step into this exciting new chapter together, I am committed to building strong partnerships with our families. Together, we can ensure that the same “Tiger Roar” echoes at home and in school—because we are truly partners in the den. When we work together, our students thrive! I look forward to this journey with you, cheering on our Tigers, and celebrating the many accomplishments to come. This school year will be one to remember—full of growth, pride, and success.

Go Tigers, 

Mrs. Hodges, Principal
