'''Hewitt-Trussville Middle School''' (HTMS) is a [[State school|public]] [[middle school]] serving grades 6-8 in the city of [[Trussville, Alabama|Trussville]], [[Alabama]]. It is the only middle school in [[Trussville City Schools]] and is named for the early local educator Robert Hewitt. School colors are red and gray, and the athletic teams are called the Huskies.

All students from Cahaba, Magnolia, and Paine Elementary Schools are zoned to attend HTMS upon entering the sixth grade. HTMS students feed into [[Hewitt-Trussville High School]] upon entering the ninth grade.

== History ==
When [[Hewitt-Trussville High School]] was relocated to a new campus in 1984, its existing facility at 301 Parkway Drive was converted into a new middle school serving grades 5-7. Students from Hewitt Elementary School entered HTMS in the fifth grade and students from Clay and Chalkville Elementary Schools entered HTMS in the seventh grade. This continued until 1996 when Clay-Chalkville Middle School opened to serve students from Clay and Chalkville Elementary Schools.

From 1984 until 2001, HTMS students went on to attend Hewitt-Trussville Junior High School for the eighth grade. A sinkhole on the Hewitt-Trussville Junior High School campus resulted in that facility being demolished in 2002, moving the 9th grade to Hewitt-Trussville High School and the 8th grade to HTMS.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Hewitt-Trussville Junior High - Bhamwiki|url = http://www.bhamwiki.com/enwiki/w/Hewitt-Trussville_Junior_High|website = www.bhamwiki.com|accessdate = 2015-09-14}}</ref>

Like other schools in Trussville, HTMS was part of the [[Jefferson County Schools (Alabama)|Jefferson County School District]] until the City of Trussville formed its own school system in 2005. Trussville has constructed three elementary schools since breaking away from the Jefferson County School System, and all three of these feed into HTMS.<ref>{{Cite web|title = New Trussville elementary schools officially named|url = http://www.trussvilletribune.com/2015/04/20/new-trussville-elementary-schools-officially-named/|website = The Trussville Tribune|accessdate = 2015-10-06}}</ref>

In 2008, a new Hewitt-Trussville High School facility opened off Deerfoot Parkway, at which point HTMS relocated to the former high school campus on Trussville Clay Road.
