Principal's Message
Dear Hughes Parents, Guardians, and Students
This has been a performing arts week at Langston Hughes Middle School! Yesterday and today the community got a treat. Ms. Tya Echols and her 7th grade English classes performed pieces for a Black History Month presentation. They reminded us that we are all powerful and matter in this world, and that Black History is American History. Last night High School Musical Jr. opened under the direction of Ms. Cheryl Dewenter. The show continues tonight and tomorrow. Buy tickets online to ensure you have a seat! These performances have showcased the incredible talent of our students and staff, and we congratulate them on their preparation and courage to bring forth art for the community to enjoy!
Sincerely,
Aimée Monticchio
Principal
