Hattiesburg Public Schools

This weekend, our Choral Arts students opened for 2025 American Idol winner Jamal Roberts in Laurel, MS! 🎤

In just 3 years, the program has earned scholarships, national awards, and invites to perform at places like Carnegie Hall.

At HPS, excellence is the standard. 💜💛

We’re just 3 days away from the first day of school! 🎉 Huge thanks to our community partner, William Carey University and the School of Education, for opening their doors to support our staff’s back-to-school prep

HPS came together to kick off the 2025–2026 school year with purpose and pride!

Here’s to a year of excellence, greatness, and unwavering commitment to our students' success.
