Hugo Owens Middle -

Our 7th grade science students are egg-cited to welcome baby chicks to school! 🐣 Students had the opportunity to observe the hatching process firsthand and learn about life cycles through this unforgettable hands-on science!

Last Thursday, we gathered for our district retirement ceremony to celebrate the “Noteworthy Impact” our 2026 retirees have made across Chesapeake Public Schools. 💙✨

Together, we honored 166 dedicated employees whose service, leadership, and compassion have helped shape the lives of students, staff, families, and our entire community. Together, they represent 3,499 collective years of commitment to public education and student success. #CPSCelebrates #EmpowerCPS

Our Teacher Appreciation Week Gratitude Wall is officially overflowing! What started as a blank canvas on Monday morning has been transformed into a vibrant tribute to the hardworking teachers here at HOMS. Thanks to the quick pens and kind hearts of our students, SCA collected hundreds of messages during Core Plus this week. A huge thank you to the SCA for organizing the collection and to every student who took a moment to share a positive memory or a simple "thank you." To our teachers: please take a moment to stop by the foyer and see just how much you are loved and appreciated!
