MISSION
To help all our students experience success and reach their full potential in an environment that nurtures high academic achievement, positive self-esteem, good values, appropriate and responsive student behavior, and open, effective communication among students, parents, teachers, and community. Students come to the middle school with diverse social and emotional needs; therefore, the middle school experience will prepare them to move forward developmentally and academically in preparation for high school and beyond.
VISION STATEMENT
An ideal middle school provides communities of learners engaged in challenging, integrated lessons, which help to prepare our youth to become contributing citizens in our ever-changing, global society. Our instructional outcomes are guided by three principles: (1) What children are expected to know and to demonstrate, (2) How our children can best be taught, and (3) How their learning will be assessed. We affirm a multicultural approach, which supports that all children can learn, success breeds success, schools control the conditions for success, and we (parents, students, educators, and community) share in the responsibility of the learner's success.
We are guided by the three BCPS goals:
Achievement first
A safe and orderly environment
Effective and efficient use of resources
