Hutchinson Herald

OUR MISSION is to cultivate a positive community of engaged critical thinkers.

OUR VISION is for all students to access high quality curriculum, engaging instructional activities, and a supportive learning environment,

WE ARE COMMITTED to closing the gap for our students who are below grade level while still ensuring that every student makes continuous growth each year.

I want to welcome everyone to start of the 2026-2027 school year. Our Hutchinson Herald returns, to give our parents/guardians upcoming important information and events. It has been great to see our students back on campus and ready to learn! As we begin our first full week of school, students and I along with them are beginning to acclimate ourselves to our new schedules. I want to thank our teachers, counselors, and classified staff who have been taking the time to help our new and returning students with their transitions into a new school year. I have quickly seen that our Hutchinson community is centered around our students and helping to maintain a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

I want to continue to invite and encourage all parents/guardians to become actively involved at Hutchinson Middle School. Opportunities include joining parent organizations such as the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) @hutchfriends on Instagram, School Site Council (SSC), and the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), as well as attending school events throughout the year.

Please visit our school website https://hutchinson.nlmusd.org/ and follow us on social media
