Welcome to Oquirrh Hills Middle School

Five weeks in and we still love it here in the Nest!

I just wanted to take the opportunity to give a shout-out to our students – they really are amazing.  Our students are coming to school ready to learn with charged Chromebooks, a facemask and a water bottle.  We may not be able to see their smiles, but we are so grateful to see them each day.

Our students have helped with sanitation procedures and have been willing to follow all protocols and procedures we have had to implement this year.  The faculty has been so pleased with their efforts.

OHMS is still the place to learn.  Our elective TAs are going well and students are able to participate in a number of activities during TA and during our Friday enrichment time.  Every Friday, we have had a larger group of students.  It has been fun to see kids enjoy our Gamers’ Guild, sewing activities, woodburning crafts and other activities on Friday.  It has also been very impressive to see students who ask to meet one-on-one with their teachers in order to better understand class materials.

In the coming weeks, we will be offering more after school groups and activities.  We will do those as soon as we have determined the safest way to include any students who want to participate.  Even though this is a different kind of school year, I really believe that everyone can have a great experience.

I’m so grateful to be here in the Nest.

All the best,

Donna C. Hunter, Principal
