D. R. Hill Middle School

Mr. Haskins’ math class is converting unit measurements. The learning is on going as they reinforce unit concepts while operating their classroom economy day to day. Those dollars are not real but sometimes you can mistake it for real cash 😂

Our 8th grade Student Council leadership team held a planning meeting as we plan for our service projects, pep rally, spirit week, and Lyman Reading Buddies Lunch & Learn!
Our leadership team is incredible and our students take pride in their school!

⏳ Two weeks to go! Get ready for our Twelve Days Until the Holidays Dress-Up fun. Start planning your festive looks! 🎄✨

DR Hill Beginning Band Concert tonight at 6:00.

Mr. Haskins spent the week at the Teacher Leadership conference in Myrtle Beach! He represented Spartanburg District 5 and D.R. Hill Middle School. He met the 2026 South Carolina State TOY, Corey Bedenbaugh, and will be seeking state recognition this coming spring. Wish him luck! Go Tigers!

Student Scientists in Mrs. Bowles’ class have been learning about kinetic and potential energy! 🚀
Applying their knowledge, students recently engineered their own Hot Wheels ramps or popsicle stick catapults, aiming to hit a designated target. It was an exciting, hands-on way to see physics in action! Great job, everyone! 💡📐

Mrs. Parlier’s students practiced using Book Creator by making 6-7 books with Mrs. Lyda today. One student said, “This is the best project ever!”

Congratulations to the following eighth grade students who are South Carolina's 2025-2026 Junior Scholars! This recognition is awarded based upon their recent PSAT subscores in the tested areas of Critical Reading & Writing AND/OR Mathematics.

Congratulations to our 25-26 Junior Scholars! These 8th grade students took the PSAT in October and scored a 550 or higher on Reading/Writing and/or 530 or higher on Math.

🏎️ Students in Mrs. Campbell’s Automation and Robotics class have been hard at work designing and building dragsters after learning about coding and gear ratios! They’ll be putting their creations to the test in an upcoming race soon! 🤖💨 #STEMLearning #FutureEngineers #DRHillTigers

🧠 Students in Mrs. Campbell’s Medical Detectives class have been diving into the mysteries of the brain! This week, they learned about the different parts of the brain and identified them on a sheep brain. Next week, they’ll take their learning even further by diagnosing brain-related illnesses! 👩‍⚕️🔬 #HandsOnLearning #FutureScientists #DRHillTigers

The 7th Grade had a fun time visiting the Career Fair and watching the Swamp Rabbits play hockey.
