Hume R-VIII School

Hume R-VIII Mission Statement:

"Educating and training today; embracing tomorrow's opportunities."

The Hume School will remained locked until 3:25pm each day for student safety.

The Introduction to Social Work dual credit class is conducting a Community Needs Assessment, and we want everyone’s voice to be heard! Whether it's sewer upgrades, fire department needs, a local library, or other ideas to make our town stronger. This is your chance to help us collect a shared pool of data.

This short survey will help guide future projects and funding opportunities based on what our community values most.

We will have hard copies of the survey available for community members that students will upload.

Thank you for your time and thoughtfulness around this survey.

Congratulations to Lola Wriston!

She earned All-District honors for Quiz Bowl after scoring the 4th highest overall last Saturday!

Way to represent, Lola!

Self-control was the character trait for the month of March. Character education focused on self-control teaches individuals the importance of managing their emotions, behaviors, and impulses in healthy, constructive ways. It encourages patience, mindfulness, and the ability to delay gratification in the face of temptation. By practicing self-control, individuals can make better decisions, maintain healthier relationships, and achieve long-term goals. This foundational trait fosters personal growth and helps build a society where individuals take responsibility for their actions.

Character Kids of the Month:

Front Row: 1st Grade - Rainlee Mize, 2nd Grade - Coy Boyles, 3rd Grade - Cohen Brooks, 4th Grade - Camden Brown, 5th Grade - Blane Allmond

Back Row: 6th Grade - Blayklee Stigall, 7th Grade - Jaxson Toms, 8th Grade - Gavin Conrad, Freshman - Kamee Snider, Sophomore - Jasmine Pattison, Junior - Alissa Cooke, Senior - Caylee Hough
