About Us

A Long Tradition of Excellence

A Long Tradition of Excellence

Hartland Middle School at Ore Creek is part of a long tradition of excellence in Hartland Schools. We consistently outperform other schools and far exceed State averages in our yearly State of Michigan student achievement testing; we offer an excellent academic, athletic, and arts program; and we meet the individual social and emotional needs of our students through strong connections with adults.
 
We have approximately 900 students in seventh and eighth grade, with three academic teams of four core teachers per grade. HMS offers support for struggling students – including reading and math support, co-taught classes, alternative programs, peer mentoring, tutoring, Homework Hall, and Support classes – as well as extended opportunities for qualifying advanced students including Algebra and World Language classes.
 
The goal of our school community is to help students succeed in all aspects of middle school. We truly believe that success is the only option for our students.
