HMS Band Members win Grand Champion as part of HHS Band of Tigers

Seventeen of our incredibly talented Hopkinsville Middle School (HMS) Band members, who proudly represent Hopkinsville High School (HHS) as part of the HHS Marching Band, delivered a performance for the ages this past weekend. Competing against ten high school bands at the Logan County Festival of Bands, these dedicated students played their hearts out, helping the HHS Marching Band capture the prestigious title of Grand Champion. Their success is a testament to countless hours of practice, teamwork, and commitment.

The Logan County Festival of Bands is one of the most competitive events in the region, and being crowned Grand Champion is a remarkable achievement. The students put on a phenomenal show, with outstanding contributions from both middle school and high school members, proving that music education in our schools continues to thrive.

Our HMS students not only showcased their musical skills, but they also represented their school and community with pride, contributing to an award-winning ensemble. Their dedication to excellence at such a young age is truly inspiring, and we are beyond proud of their accomplishments.

Next up, these talented students will be performing at Murray State University’s “Festival of Champions” in Murray, KY, on Saturday, September 28. This prestigious event will offer them another opportunity to display their talents on a bigger stage. We encourage everyone in the community to come out and support these young musicians as they continue their journey toward musical excellence.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a teacher. My first students were fellow middle school musicians learning to play the flute, and my professional journey officially began at just nineteen years old, balancing engineering classes during the day with teaching preschool in the afternoons. Over the years, I've had the privilege of teaching students from preschool through adults in a wide variety of subjects, including Algebra to web design to English as second language. Those experiences taught me that great teaching isn't about a single subject—it's about meeting students where they are, helping them discover their strengths, and inspiring them to keep learning. Today, I teach 7th grade Social Studies at Hopkinsville Middle School, where I strive to bring history to life and help students see how the past shapes the world around them and that everyone is connected. Outside the classroom, I'm a proud mom of four who loves traveling, writing, creating art, and telling the stories that make our schools and community special. Through CCPS Student Life, I enjoy celebrating the incredible accomplishments of our students, educators, and programs. Every story is an opportunity to showcase the talent, perseverance, and heart that make Christian County Public Schools such a special place.
