Hewitt-Trussville Middle School (HTMS) is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Birmingham, Alabama suburb of Trussville. 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 Paine Intermediate School 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 1982, its existing facility at 301 Parkway Drive was converted into a new middle school serving grades 5-7. Students from Clay, Chalkville, and Hewitt Elementary Schools entered HTMS after the fourth grade until 1996, when Clay-Chalkville Middle School opened to serve students from Clay and Chalkville Elementary Schools.

From 1982 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 Hewitt-Trussville Middle School.[1]

Like other schools in Trussville, HTMS was part of the Jefferson County School District until the City of Trussville formed its own school system in 2005. Trussville City Schools opened two new elementary schools, Paine Primary and Intermediate Schools, which now feed into HTMS.

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.
