We at NHMS hope this message finds you well, and I wanted to give you an update about the 2025-2026 school year. We are exploring how to expand the most engaging and effective learning opportunities of E2 and Trojan Academy while ensuring that we challenge every student, including those passionate about STEM. 
 
As we move forward, we do not plan on opening an application process for E2 next school year for rising 6th graders. The NHMS faculty and a cross-section of NHMS students and parents are sharing how we might build on the best practices of our school. In these meetings, our students and faculty expressed a high level of interest in what a STEAM “Magnet” Program might look like at NHMS. This type of program, if adopted, would help vertically align NHMS with our feeder elementary schools and NHHS. We will share more information after the holidays and appreciate your patience as we work through this exciting process, including the future opportunities for our current E2 students, and we will be sending out a feedback form for parents in the coming months.    
 
If your family lives in the Hall County School District and your 5th grader does not live in the North Hall Middle School zone, and you wish for your child to attend NHMS in 6th grade, please complete the In-District HB 251 application form by December 13th Click here for more information on the in-district transfer application process. (Currently enrolled Out-of-District/Tuition 5th grade students will be contacted later this month for information about how to request to attend NHMS as a 6 th grader.)
