Sixth Grade marks the first year in the Middle School and is therefore focused on developing sound habits of thought and expression, effective studyskills, as well as successful management of time, materials, and responsibilities. As students engage with several teachers each dayand navigate the entiretyof the HDS campus, personal accountability, independence, and self-advocacyare encouraged and cultivated. Sixth Grade also comes with more leadership experiences, a wide varietyof instruments in the MS music room, newperformance opportunities with a Fall Playand Spring Musical, interscholastic sports, and additional electives.
