Principal's Message
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Ben Hill Middle School!
I’m honored to serve as principal of a school that means so much to me. My journey in education began right here—first as an intern, then math teacher, Subject Area Leader, Assistant Principal, and now, proudly, your Principal. Of my 21 years in education, 18 have been spent at Ben Hill. I believe in this school so deeply that my own son attended Ben Hill—because I know firsthand the strength of our community and the quality of education we provide.
I’m proud to share that we earned a “B” school grade for the 2025–2026 school year, showing growth and momentum. This year, we’ll keep building on that success as we support one another and celebrate progress.
Our theme for the 2026–2027 school year is:
BeArs on the rise!
This reflects who we are right now. We have a strong foundation, and now it’s about being more intentional, more consistent, and continuing to move forward. And yes…that capital A is intentional.
It represents our focus on: achievement, accountability, attitude, and reaching that next level of excellence.
This year, we will continue to:
Rise in our expectations
Rise in our instruction
Rise in our consistency
Rise in student achievement
We’re not where we started, and we’re not where we want to be yet…
But we are on the rise.
Every Bear. Every Day. On the Rise.
Warmly,
Coddie Webster

We love when Mr. Ayers has time to stop by Hill. We love when we get the chance to show off all our talented students, dedicated teachers, and our beautiful campus.

What better way to welcome new teachers in our area to HCPS.
