Parents and Students,

Welcome to Center Middle School. It is our belief that the students we teach are at a pivotal stage in life where only the best instruction and example can guide them to the path of success. It is our goal to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for the students who are making the difficult transition from childhood to early adolescence. Our teachers recognize the complexity of this time in their lives and offer the students positive models to emulate. We will teach and encourage organization, and effective study skills. By teaching the students a sense of responsibility, the students can then learn to become more independent and self-motivated. Our ultimate goal is to lead and teach with an infectious enthusiasm that will foster a love of learning in our students.

Center Middle School Leadership

We are excited to work with our students and families. We strive to create a safe learning environment for students as they transition from childhood to early adolescence at Center Middle School. Our dedicated employees recognize the complexity of this pivotal time and offer students encouraging and positive support. Our hope is to prepare students to become independent, responsible, self-motivated and foster a love of learning in our students.

We are excited to encourage our 8th graders prepare them for their futures. We can only hope as educators, we have the same impact on our students' lives as they have on us. Thank you for allowing Center School District the opportunity to work with your child. We are in this together, working as a team. Our number one goal is the success of each and every child. Please feel free to our staff with any questions and/or concerns.
