Co-curricular activities are an important part of the Maxwell Middle School curriculum. Parents are also an important part of the Maxwell Middle School team. The parent organization has raised considerable amounts of money to purchase equipment for the school. The organization sponsors several school dances and an auction throughout the year. Parents help keep score, run the timers, and sell concessions at our athletic events.
Parents help out in the library and are used as resource people for many subjects.
They are also members of different committees such as book adoption, curriculum, gifted education and Performance Based Accreditation committees. Maxwell Middle School is an example of a small rural school that focuses on the total development of the child. Maxwell Middle School leads the state of Indiana in measures of student academic performance. Maxwell Middle School has been recognized twice by the Department of Education as a School of Excellence. Maxwell is proud to have achieved that ranking five times.
