Middle School Extra Curricular Opportunities

opportunities 5th-8th

Panthers in our middle school programs have a wealth of fine art, athletic, leadership and service opportunities.

Band
Our band program allows learners to explore a variety of instruments with our band instructor as part of the MHES Beginner Band. As each student makes progress and finds the instrument best suited to them, they may join the MHES Concert Band. The Concert Band develops advanced music skills and performs for school, chapel and community events.

Drama
Our drama program gives all panthers the opportunity to learn theater terms, the history of theater, and activities and skills to enhance their dramatic techniques. Throughout their time in this program, drama students work towards a final performance by learning lines, working on blocking, and character building. The students perform for school events and community events.

Visual Art
Our visual art program provides a studio based environment in which genres are explored, disciplined skills are developed, and creativity encouraged. Students’ work is showcased at school and community events throughout the year.

Athletics
Panthers benefit from the expert coaching and encouragement of our amazing Athletic Director, Coach Antonio Grant. Coach Grant brings forth all his expertise from his time representing USC Columbia in Men’s Basketball from ‘96’-’00 and subsequently as a professional basketball player.Our students are motivated to become not just one but two, three and four sport athletes throughout the school year.

Leadership & Service
MHES middle school encourages students to lead and serve in all aspects of school life. Our Junior Beta Club is an opportunity to develop and demonstrate these vital character traits, whilst our weekly school chapel provides a blessed space for students to share in leading worship.
