The middle school level of education, grades 6, 7 and 8, is a critical transitional period of intellectual, emotional, and physical development for students. At Gainesville Middle School, we believe it is essential for parents and teachers to work together to successfully address the unique academic and social needs of these students in transition to successful members of our community.

Our curriculum has been specifically developed to meet the students' changing needs. Curricular experiences have been planned to  include emphasis on mastery of basic skills, expansion of creative and critical thinking skills, a continued exposure to technology, and increased opportunities for exploratory experiences. In addition, emphasis is given to the development of positive self-image, self-motivation, and continuous self-improvement.

We continue to recognize and support the needs of our students, aiding students to understand their own intellectual, social and emotional growth. We teach skills that help students make responsible decisions and provide specific opportunities to apply those skills. Our overall purpose is to meet the educational, developmental and social needs that emerge during this transitional period – because we are. . .

Committed to Excellence !
