History
Background
When Bob Newby attended Hawkins Middle School, he petitioned for and founded the Hawkins Middle AV Club. Eventually, science teacher Scott Clarke became the supervisor of the club.
1983
On the morning of November 7, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas arrived at the school where they encountered the bullies Troy and James. Later, after Mr. Clarke's class had ended, he led the boys to the AV room where he showed them the new Heathkit. As the boys were using the device, they were called to the principal's office for questioning. They were then questioned by the Chief of Police Jim Hopper about Will Byers's disappearance.
The boys brought Eleven to the school in order to use the Heathkit to contact Will. Before they could do so, they had to attend an assembly being held in honor of Will's death. During the assembly, Mike and the others overheard Troy and James insulting Will. Mike confronted them, pushing Troy down. Before Troy could hit Mike back, Eleven froze him in place and made him urinate on himself.
In the AV room, Eleven successfully channeled Will through the Heathkit. As the kids listened in on his conversation with his mother, they discovered he was in a place identical to his home but “dark and cold.” However, the radio suddenly caught on fire, causing the school's fire alarms to go off. Principal Coleman later hired a repairman to inspect the destroyed device.
After coming up with a plan to create a makeshift isolation tank, the group decided to set it up at the Middle School due to the large supply of deicing salt. Eleven was able to use the tank to find and contact Will, who was hiding in Castle Byers in the Upside Down. Hopper and Joyce decided to break into the lab, while Nancy and Jonathan resolved to kill the Monster.
When Mike discovered that everyone else had gone, Dustin decided to raid the cafeteria for chocolate pudding. As they waited for Dustin and Lucas, Mike invited Eleven to the Snow Ball and they shared a kiss. Soon after, Brenner and several other agents from Hawkins Lab stormed the school in search for Eleven. In an attempt to protect her

Following the tragic event with everyone returning home, Eleven was revealed to be alive, awakening in the Upside Down of Hawkins Middle School and came out to the hallways of the school through the portal created by the Monster to find Mike.
1984
On the day of Halloween, Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Will dressed in their Ghostbusters costumes only to find out that no one else had dressed up for the occasion. Later, when Dustin brought Dart to the school and showed it to Mike, Will, Lucas and Max at the AV room, they concluded that Dart was from the Upside Down. Before they could do anything, Dart escaped.
As the kids split up to find Dart, Will encountered it and tried to retrieve it. However, Dart screamed which caused Will to experience another episode at the Upside Down, where the shadow creature ultimately possessed him. The next day, Will's absence in the school prompted Mike to check up on him at the Byers house.
The kids enjoy the Snow Ball school dance.

In October of 1985, Will Byers left Hawkins Middle School of him and his family move somewhere outside of Hawkins.
