Our school is helping all students develop the world class skills and life and career characteristics of the Profile of the Graduate by ensuring that improving student learning through quality instruction continues to be the focus of Saint George Middle School. We are working for increased achievement through an instructional vision based on five concepts. Rigor, collaboration, student engagement, standards based instruction, and data driven decision making make up these concepts. Teachers and administrators have analyzed data and have identified specific areas on instructional need.
Research based strategies and methods have been implemented to address these needs. Saint George Middle School has completed four years of Project Based Learning professional development and student activities.
Saint George Middle School is proudly providing our students with the opportunity to enroll in specific courses over their middle school years as part of the Gateway To Technology (GTT) initiative. This implementation is being supported by a grant from the Boeing Company. We also offer the ProTeam class that provides lessons on leadership skills for students and is an introduction into the high school Teacher Cadet program
Providing quality after-school activities is also a key to improving academics and student achievement. Saint George Middle School has been fortunate to be the recipient of a 21st Century Grant that funds our program. The main goal of the program is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for our students outside of traditional school hours. Our after-school activities are based on four components; academics, character education, extracurricular activities and parental involvement.
