Southern Middle School Mission Statement:

The Southern Middle School Community accepts the responsibility for providing each student with the opportunity to reach academic proficiency and to develop character which leads to individual and community excellence.

Southern Middle School Vision Statement:

We believe all students can learn, and that educating our youth to reach their highest potential requires a partnership based support and cooperation between the family, community, and school.

 

We believe that every student...

  • has the capacity to learn, grow, and develop into a knowledgeable, reflective, caring, ethical, and contributing citizen.
  • thrives academically, socially, and emotionally in a democratic learning environment where trust and respect are paramount and where family and community are actively involved.
  • faces significant life choices and needs support in making wise and healthy decisions.
  • deserves educators who are prepared to work with this age group, who are themselves lifelong learners and committed to their own ongoing professional development and growth.
