An important phase of student life at the middle school is the student’s social development. Throughout the year, school parties, picnics, dances, special assemblies, and class trips are scheduled. These functions are a privilege and the school discipline code applies.
Honor Society, 2025-26, members are selected primarily on high academic achievement. To be considered for membership a student must make first honors for three consecutive trimesters in seventh and/or eighth grade. Beyond scholarship, inductees must also meet and maintain the standards of character, leadership, citizenship, and service that are stressed by the National Junior Honor Society. To continue membership in the Honor Society a student must achieve First Honors every subsequent trimester, be in good standing (behavior), and meet the criteria designed by the National Junior Honor Society. The Honor Society will be meeting the last Thursday of every month in the library (unless otherwise noted) until 3:25 pm. Alyssa Buzzelli and Katherine Cunningham are the Honor Society advisors.
