Welcome to one of the most exciting, rewarding, and educational experiences that our school has to offer: the Headland Middle School Band!

Band is the musical performance group at Headland and all who are involved can benefit from it. Music is the means by which we train the emotions. Music along with academics makes a well-rounded individual. We believe that music and academics are an important part of every student's education. Band is open to all students at Headland Middle School without discrimination because of sex, race, or intellectual ability. 

The goal of the Headland band program is to  provide our students with a lifelong understanding and appreciation for quality music and music making. Recent statistics prove that young people who participate in music are among the academically strongest in their schools. They also have higher SAT score averages than their fellow classmates. Their adult lives are filled with successes which are a direct result of their band experiences: self-discipline, group cooperation, high self-esteem, understanding teamwork, developing a sense of persistence, high levels of thinking, creativity, and performance confidence. The Headland band program provides this foundation for every band student.

The RAM Robotics Competition Team was started in 2019. Students in the 7th or 8th grade that have completed at least one year of STEM Club with Mrs. Tew or 6th grade students that completed a year of robotics with Mrs. Drown at HES are eligible to join the RAM Robotics Middle School Competition Team. Students in the 9th-12th grades are eligible to continue competing with the Headland High School RAM Robotics Competition Team. 

Students that are interested in robotics need to see Mrs. Tew about joining the STEM Club. 

FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America. In FBLA, students will learn leadership and networking skills, become academically competitive, improve their career awareness, and participate in service projects that can be used for job, college, and scholarship applications. 

All 9th grade students have the option to join FBLA. Please see Ms. Pope for more information. 

Students interested in joining STEM Club need to see Mrs. Tew in the library. STEM Club will meet on Tuesdays from 2:35-4:00 pm beginning sometime in September or October. More information will be posted soon! 

Gifted Education clubs are designed to extend student interests beyond general exploratory experiences. Students develop a broad range of advanced-level skills in preparation for in-depth study and creation of a product on a chosen interest.

G/T Resource Teachers provide advanced-level instruction and schedule these opportunities for interested students. Skill development might include written, oral, and visual communication skills, critical and creative thinking skills, research skills, technology skills, and skills in visual and performing arts.

Middle school clubs are offered in each of the school system’s middle schools. These clubs might include clubs such as journalism, environmental studies, engineering, creative problem solving, photography, languages, cultural awareness, and leadership, based upon the interests of the students at the school.

Headland 9th Grade Academy's Student Government Association (SGA) creates the opportunity for students to become effective leaders, thus encouraging and influencing a positive school climate. SGA allows students to participate in and witness the democratic system and creates a line of communication between students, teachers, and administrators.

Students running for SGA positions spend time campaigning for president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, or grade-level representative. They hang posters and talk to their constituents.

Once officers are elected, SGA representatives assist in school assemblies, student fundraising activities, 5th Grade orientation and our yearly canned food drive during the holidays.

Students in the 9th grade are eligible to run for office.
