We Build the Future One Child at a Time!
Dear Parents/Guardians:
It is an honor and a privilege to be selected to become the new principal at Hurley Elementary Middle School. It is with great pride and joy that I wholeheartedly accept this position. Hurley Elementary Middle School enjoys a rich history of academic excellence and community pride that is a result of a dedicated staff and a strong partnership between the school staff and parents.
My ultimate goal is to better understand what drives the successes of the students and staff, and then capitalize on this as I lead the school into the next phase of our journey. Together, we will become the premier elementary/middle school in Southwest Virginia and more importantly, our students will become the premier leaders of the 21st century.
Thank you for this opportunity. I am looking forward to getting to know the students, staff and families of Hurley Elementary Middle School. I am confident we can make our school an even better place for our students to learn and grow.
Sincerely, Ruth Tester, Principal

HEMS Meets AYP Once Again And Is Fully Accedited By The Virginia Department of Education
Hurley Elem./Middle School has made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and is a fully accredited school by the Virginia Department of Education. Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, is part of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001. NCLB requires all public schools and school divisions to meet certain goals (called annual measurable objectives or AMOs) to determine if they are making "adequate progress" each year. In Virginia, these goals are determined by how students do on the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests in English/reading and mathematics, the number of students tested and student attendance or graduation rate. To make AYP, these students and subgroups of students must meet annual measurable objectives not only on specific tests, but in their participation in tests, and attendance or graduation rate.Thanks for all the hard work and dedication from the HEMS teachers, students, and parents. Great job everyone!

To be considered for the program, the schools must have a poverty rate of at least 40 percent and be nominated by the individual state’s Title I programs. Schools selected for the Distinguished Schools award must demonstrate strengths in the following areas: Opportunity for all children to meet proficient and advanced levels of performance, Strong professional development, Coordination with other programs, Curriculum and instruction to support achievement of high standards; and Partnerships among schools, parents and communities.
