Howard T. Herber school building

 

Howard T. Herber Middle School is located in the Village of Malverne. The school district itself includes a portion of the Village of Malverne, as well as other portions of the Villages of Lynbrook, Rockville Centre, West Hempstead and the unincorporated areas of Malverne and North Lynbrook. Students in grades 6 through 8 attend Howard T. Herber Middle School. We are "dedicated to strive for excellence" for all of our students. Herber has a variety of extra-curricular activities for its students, as well as Herber MULES Sports for 7th and 8th graders. Early adolescence is a critical period in which students must make a transition between the protective environment of the elementary school and the more demanding high school setting which requires individual responsibility, emotional maturity and independent decision making. It is the role of Howard T. Herber Middle School to provide for these students a nurturing and forgiving atmosphere in which they are encouraged to take risks and yet feel secure within a consistent and supportive educational structure. In such an environment, our students will be guided effectively and purposefully toward becoming caring, capable and ethical young adults able to make responsible choices and adapt to the changing society of the 21st century.

On March 5, eight teams of Ms. Kelly's eighth grade Science Research students  participated in the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair’s Middle School Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovation Challenge.

The self-designed projects ranged from “The Impact of Energy Drinks on the Rate of Respiration in Yeast” and “The Effect of Centrifugal Force on the Velocity of Hot Wheels Cars,” to “Uncovering the Truth Behind Sunscreens” and “The Impact of Artificial Light on Plant Growth.” One group, in the category of Social and Behavioral Sciences, investigated the links between preconceived notions on genetically modified foods and taste preferences for GMO vs non-GMO apples, while another investigated the effectiveness of hand sanitizers on bacterial growth.

Two teams from the class earned ribbons for their presentations in the category of Microbiology, which they have been researching since October. Lorelei Fitzgerald, Leyla Montrose and Gabriella Sime won Third Place for their project entitled “The Effect of Refrigeration on Bacterial Growth in Condiments” and Honorable Mention was awarded to Sophia Baez, Kamila Fernandez and Angelina Williams for their project entitled “The Effect of Dental Dog Treats on Bacterial Growth in Dogs’ Mouths.”

HTH Black History Showcase

The HTH Creativity Club's Black History Showcase was an extraordinary celebration that held immense significance. It provided a powerful platform for students to honor the profound legacy of Black history and culture. More than a mere display of performances, this showcase embodied empowerment, urging our students to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of Black trailblazers who have shaped the course of history.

Beyond the spotlight, the event became a pivotal moment for students to connect with their heritage, fostering a deeper understanding of the struggles and triumphs of the past. It served as an inspiration drawn from the resilience and achievements of those who paved the way.

As our students showcased their talents and expressed their creativity, the event became a celebration of diversity within a supportive and inclusive environment. This showcase transcended the ordinary; it was a meaningful occasion for our students to unite, learn, grow and proudly honor the rich tapestry of Black history that has intricately woven the fabric of who we are today.

Congratulations to all the students who contributed their time, energy and talent on the stage and behind the scenes. Special thanks to Ms. Campbell for organizing this special event.
