Wow, what a week is right! We had so much fun celebrating Homecoming week! Our students were able to attend the high school pep rally on Friday. They showed so much school spirit! We loved getting to see our middle school band students, cheerleaders, and color guard in action!
We had a lot of learning going on this week, too. Enjoy these pictures from Mrs. Hyatt's aviation project. Her students learned about the evolution of aviation. They built a 3D model of the Wright Brothers' Plane! They even got to "test fly" their airplanes!
We ended the week with our volleyball team being named County Champions! Way to go, girls!
What a great week!
We had great week at GHMS!
- Check out these pictures showing our 7th grade integer product champions.
- The last 2 weeks in our Career Prep class students have researched inventors and innovators of the past. Then the students created talking avatars to present the research to class. Finally, they made a human timeline of inventions and innovations.. They also learned about inventions and innovations in communication and practiced encryption and decryption by sending coded messages to one another in class!
And as if that wasn't enough... they had a guest speaker, a mortgage consultant, come talk to the class about Financial Literacy.

Homecoming Week is next week (September 23-27! Here are our dress up days!
What a great week at Good Hope Middle School! If you had walked through our halls this week, you would have heard students cheering each other on as they presented their essays in 6th grade. You would have heard our 7th grade students practicing Spanish as they learn another language. You would have heard students reading out loud to each other in the hallways. It was such a great week to be a Raider! Can't wait to do it again this week!
Hat Day on Friday! See details below!
We want to kick off National Arts in Education Week by giving a huge shout out to Jessica Clayton- Wilhite and Thomas Hargrave. Mrs. Clayton-Wilhite teaches art to ALL of our students in addition to teaching 7th grade geography and civics! The students love going to her art class and exercising their creativity! Mr. Hargrave directs our GHMS band. He is passionate about helping students discover a love for music. We want to thank both of these amazing educators for cultivating a love for the arts in our students!
Look at all of the great things we have going on at Good Hope Middle School!
Mrs. McSpadden's science class had yet another week of hands-on learning! They completed a mixture lab this week!
Mrs. Spicer's 7th grade English class participated in a book club. They took advantage of the beautiful weather and did some reading outside!
Mrs. Adams, our librarian, and Mrs. Acosta paired up to work on poetry analysis in 6th grade English.
Mrs. Acosta also had her students practice presenting their narrative writing assignment.
Mrs. Hyatt's career prep students spent some time this week completing some online Brain Games with our school system career coach! These games are not only fun, they will also give students some insight on possible careers they might be interested in!
We are ready for another great week at Good Hope Middle School!
We had another fantastic week at GHMS!
- We brought out the yard games during break this week. It was so much fun to watch the students play games together!
- Speaking of games... we had volleyball and football games this week! If you have pictures from the football game, feel free to drop them in the comments!
- It's election season at GHMS! Our hallways are lined with such creative campaign posters!
- Our 6th grade students had so much fun completing an escape room challenge in Mrs. Acosta's English class this week!
- Mrs. McSpadden's 8th grade science class had a week of hands-on learning! They completed a particle motion lab. Mrs. McSpadden even made the test review fun!
- Our career prep class was all about leadership, teamwork, and trust this week. During a team building challenge, teams had to draw a word that Mrs. Hyatt had written on the board. There was a catch! They only had 1 marker for their group and 4 strings attached to the marker. They had to work together and communicate with each other to be able to draw the word that was shown on the board. The students really enjoyed doing this activity! They found that it was much more challenging than they expected!
- No school Monday! We will miss seeing everyone! Can't wait until Tuesday!
Tomorrow! Make plans to come to our blood drive! We will start at 9 a.m. Don't forget that the student of your choice will receive a free icee!
If your son played baseball last season, there will be an informational meeting on Tuesday at 6pm at the baseball field.
It was another fantastic week to be a Raider! These pictures are just a small glimpse into all of the great things we did this week.
In Mrs. Hyatt's class our 8th grade students spent the week learning about workplace safety (such as general safety guidelines and accident reporting). They got a chance to play a board game to learn and review different scenarios about workplace safety.
Mrs. McSpadden's science class spent time this week on a popsicle experiment! What a great way to learn science!
Mrs. Acosta's English class completed a creative writing assignment about nature. Mrs. Acosta decided it would be much more effective if her students could write about nature while immersed in nature!
Our seventh grade students had a wonderful time learning Spanish this week. As a class they had a Zoom call with a teacher from Colombia. She showed them various places around her country, including an active volcano! We can't wait for the next lesson!
We ended the week with some cross country victories! Our team represented us well! In the Girls 1600 Meter Sara Self placed 3rd, Maya Caudle placed 5th, and Veronica Horvath placed 6th. We are so proud of you all!

Come join us on August 29 for a blood drive! You can get a $20 e-gift card, support GHMS, and save a life all at the same time!
We sure packed a lot into our first full week at Good Hope Middle School! There were so many hands-on learning experiences this week! One example is the "Book Tasting" our 6th grade students participated in. The students acted as book critics and chose which book they would be the most interested in reading based on the cover and summary on the back of the book. While the students sampled books of different genres, Ms. Faulk served them some refreshing snow cones! This week Kay Bell and Kathy Wilson from Cullman Juvenile Probation, along with our very own Lt. Doug Duke, spoke to our students about appropriate and inappropriate cell phone use. It was astonishing to hear their stories. We also participated in a monthly advisory lesson along with all Cullman County Schools. This month students learned about the dangers of bullying and cyberbullying and what to do if they witness it. It sure was a great week to be a Raider!
We have a few extra copies of yearbooks from the 2023-2024 school year. If you missed out on ordering one, now is your chance to snag a copy! Send $40 to get your copy!
