Our purpose at South Junior High School is to provide a safe and secure environment that promotes a positive school experience. Our goal is to offer a standards-based, best-practices curriculum that allows all students an opportunity to achieve academically as well as to grow socially and emotionally. We believe in the importance of all stakeholders working collectively to maximize individual success. We believe all students can learn. We believe all students should be guaranteed a viable curriculum. We believe we need to systematically respond to student needs. We believe we need to tend to social/emotional and academic needs of our students. We believe that collaboration is superior to isolation. We believe that students learn best in a safe and orderly environment.
