runninghorseServices and Facilities

The largest middle school in Rockingham County, Holmes offers numerous enrichment classes, including Band, Bible History, Chorus, General Music, Glee Club, Keyboarding, Spanish, Social Studies, Technology Exploration, and Visual Arts. The school uses a block schedule that allows students more concentrated time in core subjects (English language arts, math, and science). Our curriculum is driven by state-mandated standards on which students are tested at the end of each school year.  Students have access to technology through networked computers in classrooms, media center, and four computer labs, one with a flexible schedule.  All rooms have telephones and internet access via the school system's wide area network.
