The New Hamden Middle School
On September 5, 2006 Hamden Middle School opened its doors to at least one thousand students. As of the 2008-2009 school year progressed, the estimated school population was calculated at 870 students. All students are assigned one of five houses for either 7th or 8th grade. 2 houses per grade contain the TAG (Talented and Gifted) students. Houses on both floors consist of the same colors: peach, yellow, blue, green, and purple. The eighth grade is on the first floor and the seventh is on the second. Although the school is for 7th and 8th graders, the school takes in 6th and 5th graders from elementary schools for the Advanced Math Placement (AMP) program in the morning.

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or school:
“The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.—But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,—on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,—and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,—but always something more important in our hearts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Loosed betwixt eye and lid, the swimming beams
Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
