School History
Heritage Middle School began in August, 2000, temporarily housed in Bethesda Elementary and Page Middle School. Under the leadership of its first principal, Paula Pulliam, construction of the HMS building was completed and opened its doors on January 5, 2001.

Heritage Middle School is nestled in a valley in historic southern Williamson County. Located within minutes of Saturn and easily accessible to both Franklin and Nashville, this area has seen tremendous growth during the past five years. Residents of this area enjoy convenient access to municipal areas as well as the rural charm preserved in the Thompson Station community.

Heritage Middle School shares a campus with Heritage Elementary School and the Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department.

Parent Support Organization
The Heritage Middle PTO is active in many aspects of school life from volunteering in classrooms to fundraising to holding a voting seat on the building leadership team.

Library/Media Center
The Library Media Center is open daily from 7:15 until 2:45 for student use. Equipped with 21 network computers and adjacent to the computer lab, the library is a great research tool for the HMS student body. 

Academics
Heritage Middle School utilizes a team teaching model to provide its students instruction in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. Additionally, through related arts offerings, students are exposed to art, physical education, life skills, general music, world language, drama, band, creative communication, and media skills in nine-week intervals to further enhance their educational experience. The Heritage Middle staff implements diversified instruction techniques including cooperative learning groups, hands-on class activities, tiered assignments, high-level questioning, problem-based learning, flexible grouping and independent study to meet the learning profile and interests of every learner. By using this model, all students are challenged at the rate and degree of complexity that matches their individual needs.

Special education students are served inclusively with the special education staff working cooperatively with general educators to provide support, modifications, and adaptations. Students who are certified as intellectually gifted are served both inclusively and in small group situations by a gifted consultant several times each week.

STARS is led by faculty members and the STARS student executive council. This group supports students in making lifestyle decisions and refraining from the use of drugs and violence.
