A letter from our Principal
Dear Holloman Middle School Families,
On behalf of the staff at Holloman Middle School, we are happy to welcome you to the
2023-2024 school year! We are looking forward to a constructive partnership with you to
ensure that all of our children can achieve their highest potential. We recognize that in
order to be successful in school, our children need support from both the home and the
school. A strong partnership with you will make a huge difference in your child's
education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our students' success. We want
to assure you that we will carry out our responsibility with the utmost care.
Our goal is to create a safe, secure, and inviting atmosphere at HMS where students feel
free to take risks, challenge themselves and make mistakes. We will be there to help
support them and help them move forward. At Holloman Middle School, we believe that
all students can succeed and we consider it a privilege to work with your children and
help them grow into the best person that they can be.
I am honored to have the opportunity to get to know you and to work with your
student(s). Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you
would like to share. I am here to serve you and the Holloman Air Force Base Community.
"To serve, support, educate, and elevate ALL students" is the motto of Alamogordo
Public Schools. At Holloman Middle School, "We are ALL IN!"
Sincerely,
Ellen E. Virden, Principal
