Welcome to Huntingdon Area Middle School! We are excited to welcome you to HAMS and proud to be part of the Bearcat community. The middle school years are an important time of growth, change, and increasing independence. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where students are challenged academically, encouraged to get involved, and given opportunities to grow both in and out of the classroom. We believe that student success is built through strong relationships and a partnership between students, families, staff, and our community. We encourage parents and guardians to stay connected, communicate with us, and be active partners in their child’s middle school experience. At HAMS, our expectations are simple: Be Engaged, Act Responsibly, Care About the Team, and be Safe. We want our students to take pride in being a Bearcat, make positive choices, support one another, and make the most of the opportunities available to them. We look forward to working with our students and families and making each student’s time at HAMS a positive and successful experience.

All schools in our district use ParentSquare for school communication primarily with email, text, and app notifications.
ParentSquare automatically syncs with our student information system to generate an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.
ParentSquare is a safe, secure, and modern approach to communication and collaboration between school and home. Learn more and get started today by viewing our ParentSquare web page.
Enrollment is now open for all students!
