Middle school age children change more during this period than at any other time of their lives. Intellectual, physical, social, and emotional growth and development are rapid. Thus, our middle school program is designed to meet the special needs of the middle school child. Middle school years serve as a transition from childhood to adolescence a well as a transition from elementary to high school. Our sixth, seventh, and eighth graders represent a range of socio-economic, racial and ethnic groups who live in city and rural areas of Washington County.
Many people work together to make our school a special place.
