Outside Learning Spaces: HMLS has a beautiful outdoor learning space and a garden that all our classes are encouraged to use!Ĭommunity Building: Twice a month, HMLS proudly hosts a Whole School Assembly, celebrating each other, having pep rallies, sharing work done throughout the school, and building our school community that we value deeply. Technology : We are happy that every student in HMLS is provided with a 1:1 chromebook to use technology in the classroom. Students plan, design, test, and get creative with various topics that all incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM : As part of our weekly specials, STEM is an option for all students k-1 to participate and engage in hands-on learning activities. They are able to teach small reading and math groups, assist students with their class work, as well as support the classroom teacher in unique projects. Student Teacher/Fellows, and Curriculum Block Students : Each semester we have student teachers, fellows, and Curriculum Block Students (juniors in Education Programs).

We incorporate a social emotional program, and utilize Caring School Community, which helps us to create a safe, challenging and joyful environment. We work to foster a warm, welcoming atmosphere where students are willing to take chances and be supportive of one-another. Educating the Whole ChildĪt HMLS we recognize that students require academic and social-emotional skills as well as regular physical activity in order to succeed. Though we are no longer located on Salem State University Campus, our values and relationship with them remain the same.

Since our founding, we have benefited from a close relationship with Salem State University, which sends eager education students to our school to support our mission and learn the art of teaching.

Our elementary school opened in 1896 on the first floor of the Sullivan Building, the flagship building of Salem State University (then called the Salem State Normal School).
