In 1979, fifth grade joined the middle school and so for the past twenty years Eagle Hill has remained a 5-8 middle school. Changes over the years in programs, curricula, scheduling, and staffing have helped Eagle Hill to provide a safe, caring, and challenging environment that meets the diverse needs of the middle school child. High expectations for academic excellence, coupled with opportunities in the arts, athletics, and special areas encourage students to explore areas of interest and to achieve their best. Interdisciplinary teams integrate instruction and provide students with a nurturing atmosphere in which to succeed. A strong character education program sets the backdrop for an emphasis on respect, responsibility, compassion, and cooperation.
Students can also stay after for extra help, or work in the library or computer lab.
Frequent updates on curricula, relevant staff development training, and an emphasis on writing instruction in all subjects have helped our success.
