Hill Middle School is a California Distinguished School (1994, 2001) located in Novato, California.
Hill Middle School is proud to be designated as a California Distinguished School not once, but twice in the last ten years! In addition, Hill has received the Marin County Golden Bell Award four times, one for its supportive after-school programs, one for the seventh grade garden project, one for the structured Passport Program and this year our fourth award for our Student of the Month Program. The Passport Program supports sixth, seventh and eighth grade EL students in transition to mainstream classes. Hill is one of three middle schools in Novato. It was built originally in 1953 with modernization in 1991, and 2007 began the new modernization of classroom and meeting rooms. Hill draws students from all eight elementary schools, making it one of the most diverse schools in the district. Hill has a staff of 30 teachers and a part-time librarian who support students not only in instructional settings, but also outside the classroom by bringing additional opportunities, such as Peer Educators, California Junior Scholarship Federation, music competitions, Environmental Club, science fair, speech contest, Civil War Days, Friday Fun Days, Geography Bees, Family Night, Small World Week, talent shows, spirit days and student of the month celebrations. Track and cross country county competitions are also important events at Hill.
