Recently, students in the Math Lab of #HarrisMiddleSchool teacher Mrs. Mitchell practiced plotting points on a coordinate plane through engaging, hands-on math stations!
Mrs. Mitchell shared how much she loves seeing her students stay focused, work through challenges, and give their best effort in the lab. 👏
One point at a time, students are strengthening their math skills, building confidence, and learning together through small-group instruction and hands-on practice.
Way to go, #HMS Eagles! Keep working hard and reaching new heights! 🦅💙💛#SoarAboveTheRest

The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council recently gathered at the Bedford County Schools Central Office to kick off another year of #student #leadership, conversation and collaboration! 💬✨
With both returning and new members joining the council, #students had the opportunity to get to know one another through an icebreaker question: “If you could instantly become really good at one thing, anything at all, school-related or not, what would you choose and why?” Their answers sparked some fun conversations and gave students a chance to learn more about the peers they’ll be working alongside throughout the year.
Students also met with Superintendent Tim Harwell, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Sandy Sorrells, Assistant Superintendent of Operations Neil Watson and Director of Communications Carol Garrette. They then toured the Central Office to learn more about the different departments and how each one supports BCS schools and students.
Throughout the school year, these student leaders will have opportunities to share their perspectives, provide input on district matters and help ensure that student voices are part of the conversation. 🗣️⭐
We’re looking forward to hearing what this group has to say and seeing the impact their voices will have throughout the year!

Hey, #HarrisMiddleSchool Family! Picture Day is officially **ONE WEEK AWAY!**
📅 **#HMS Picture Day:** Wednesday, October 14, 2026
📅 **Picture Retakes:** Wednesday, November 18, 2026
Retakes will be available for students who **miss Picture Day** or who need to have their picture **retaken**.
🚨 **IMPORTANT REMINDER:**
Please **DO NOT WEAR GREEN** on Picture Day!
A **green screen** will be used for the pictures, so wearing green could cause your clothing to disappear into the background. And unless you're going for the *floating head* look, we probably don't want that.
Get those smiles ready, #HMS!
