50th Anniversary Celebration

In 1971, Hobby Middle School opened its doors to students and families, ushering in the first class of Hawks into what would become fifty years of lifetime learners.
The sounds of decades past can be heard throughout the hallways where former Hawk students now find themselves as Hawk parents and grandparents.
