Black Water Middle

Welcome to Black Water Middle School

2012 Annual Youth Big Cat Wrestling Camp

BWMS teachers spent the afternoon getting students ready for PASS testing through a PEP rally planned and carried out by the academic teachers from each grade level. The afternoon was filled with dance, rap, cheers, games, test-taking strategies, encouraging words and LOTS of laughs!

Please take a moment and listen as HCS administrators, local law enforcement, and our Senior Solicitor for the juvenile court system, speak about the dangers and consequences of making a bomb threat against one of our schools.
