Welcome our newest Mustang!
Hi! My name is Cassie Higgs and I am excited to join Holmes Middle School as your School Counselor!
Before coming to HMS, I previously served as a high school counselor for Rockingham County High School (5 years) and NC Cyber Academy (3 years). Not only am I happy to return to RCS, but I am excited to begin a new chapter in my career serving middle school students and families. I hope to bring my knowledge and experience as a school counselor, as well as my passion for students' academic, social, and emotional wellbeing to support the great work being done at HMS.
I am married to my wonderful husband, Chris, and together we have two beautiful daughters, Sadie Beth (age 6) and Lynlee (age 3). My hobbies include reading (or listening) to a book and cooking/baking in my kitchen.
I am looking forward to being part of the incredible school community at HMS! Go Mustangs!


Congratulations to our Mrs. Staley on her new position as Assistant Principal at Wentworth Elementary!! She may be an eagle now, but she'll always be a Mustang to us.
