The South Orange Middle School HSA has debuted a brand new website, just in time for the approaching school year.
The SOMS Cougars site, which can be found at somshsa.org, features events and important dates, information about the school and individual grades, links to the school and district calendars, news about each grade, extra curricular programs and more.
