Lassiter Middle School Lassiter Middle School is a national model for research and practice in meeting the needs of and in challenging adolescents. Faculty and staff teach in teams and use peer mediation, cooperative learning, and parent outreach activities to help students be successful. Through this program, students at Lassiter Middle School are reminded of their importance to the planet.
Teachers continually try to show the students their role in preserving our environment.
During the 1995-96 school year, Lassiter students recycled more than eight tons of materials that would have otherwise gone to a landfill. The curriculum in the Environmental Education Program helps students understand their personal development and how it affects and is affected by the world around them. It encourages students to take leadership roles and to improve the environment, and it prepares them for further training or careers in ecological fields. Demonstrations and simulations are part of the hands-on teaching style, thanks to partnerships with businesses involved in environmental education.
