We are thrilled to announce the 2025 Teacher of the Year at HMS - Mrs. Heather Blackmon! Ms. Blackmon teaches 6th grade social studies. Here are some of the kudos from her peers: Ms. Blackmon is a great relationship builder, she sets high standards for her students, and is willing to do whatever it takes for those around her to be successful. Ms. Blackmon integrates hands-on learning, collaboration, meaningful projects and finds ways to target independent learning goals. Ms. Blackmon cares so much abut the well-being of her students, and helps with "all the things" at HMS. Ms. Blackmon is an amazing teacher and wonderful co-worker.
We would also like to honor our runner-ups - Ms. Miller (8th math and science) and Dr. Lockwood (7th math). Hanahan Middle is blessed to have so many wonderful teachers. Go Hawks!
