To quote the University of Louisville, "It's Happening Here!" At HCMS, we are doing a variety of things to establish a community of learners. By this I mean, we are taking it to the next level 24-7. Being child centered, teachers look at the whole child when planning their lessons. Teachers are consciously aware of the differences in learning styles.
Day in and day out, teachers use innovation and high expectations to promote learning. Students are motivated and actively engaged in the classroom. When conducting walk-throughs I've heard raps on lab safety, witnessed archaeological digs, marketing campaigns, robotics with Lego's, computer graphics, action research projects, role-playing, etch a sketches, and imaginative trips to Mars and Mexico.
Teachers are providing students with the opportunity for real-life applications, allowing them to set goals and move toward these goals. At HCMS, there is continuous monitoring of student progress. We hope to be able to provide students with the best possible tools for the future. Students have the opportunity to maximize their chances for success both inside and outside of the classroom.
For, example this week our 7th grade football team beat Breckenridge County Middle School 44-0. It was quite an impressive victory. The weeks of hard work and determination paid off for the 7th grade football team. Although the 8th grade football team played equally hard they came up short. I am very proud of both teams and the way they have represented HCMS. This weekend the 7th and 8th grade teams will play in the Fox Bowl in Owensboro. This is being hosted by Burns Middle School. I want wish both teams good luck on Saturday! Go COUGARS! AIM HIGH! Shoot for the stars, soar like Cardinals!
Dare to be Great!

About Me
- Dr. Diane Hatchett, Principal, HCMS
- I am a graduate of the following universities: Bellarmine University, Western Ky University and the University of Louisville. Each of these schools helped me to learn, grow and flourish. My hat is off to my professors and the mentors in my life who helped me to become the person that I am today. I have been blessed with excellent teachers from pre-school on. It is no wonder that my number one goal is "student success". I am passionate about life-long learning and the moral and social development of kids of all ages. I am truly committed to student achievement in all forms academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. My motto is, "If you believe it, you can achieve it, so Aim High and Dare to be Great!"
