About Us

Herbert Green Middle School is located in Placerville, near Highway 50, in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The school was identified as a California Distinguished School in 1999 by the California Department of Education. We serve 540 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students in the Mother Lode Union School District.
The staff is committed to creating a learning environment that will enable students to achieve their maximum potential in academic performance, critical thinking skills, expressive talents, physical development, social and emotional growth, and respect for self and others. Herbert Green strives to maintain a clean, safe, organized school, with a positive school climate, where students, parents and staff are welcome, comfortable, and treated with respect. In a recent student survey, 97% of the students reported feeling safe at school.

The Herbert Green staff believes that all students can and want to learn. In addition, they expect students to meet the expectations of the California Content Standards in the core subject areas. Curriculum, instruction, and staff development to support and improve teaching and learning are based on current research and sound educational practice.
