HUGHES MIDDLE SCHOOL (LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA)

'Charles Evans Hughes Middle School' is a public middle school, part of the Long Beach Unified School District in Long Beach, California.
Hughes is located in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood and serves portions of the cities of Long Beach and Signal Hill. As of 2006, the principal is Monica Daley.
The official mascot is an owl. Hughes is recognized for its diverse background of students. The school was the winner of the California Distinguished School Award in 1999, and the United States Department of Education Blue Ribbon in 2000.
Hughes offers three different programs in which students may excel. This helps students learn in an environment that is most suited to their learning needs. The advanced program is GATE (gifted and talented education). The school's GATE program is called TAP (Talent Achievement Program). The second level is Honors, for the students who exceed the regular curriculum, which is the third level. The regular level of classes is challenging in itself, but does not offer the extra growth opportunities that some students require.
==School uniform==
