Shoutout to Doratha Ellis, one of our fantastic bus drivers! 💛🛞

We recently received a compliment on her safe and skilled driving.
Dedication and care like Doratha's help make every ride a safe and positive experience for our students.

Thank you to all of our awesome bus drivers!

Hixson Middle School recently celebrated a milestone with its first D.A.R.E. graduation in partnership with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

A total of 160 students completed the program this year, building skills that support healthy choices, confidence, and positive decision-making. By the end of the school year, more than 1,100 students across the county will have completed D.A.R.E. since the program’s reinstatement in 2022.

Thank you to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, School Resource Deputy and D.A.R.E. Instructor Monica Mills, and the Hixson Middle School staff for their continued commitment to student safety and success.
