Description:
Hale Middle School believes that all educational and school related decisions should be based upon the divergent needs and uniqueness of the early adolescent. Through a climate of respect, we must provide our students with learning opportunities that meet each student's varied physical, social and intellectual needs that maximize his or her potential. We believe that our curricula must go beyond the traditional academic offerings. Through sound educational practices and the utilization of emerging technologies, we can prepare our students for the challenges that will be theirs in the future.

We believe in:
-Helping students develop and improve their critical and creative thinking skills.

-Helping students understand the principles and responsibilities of a democratic society.

-Helping students understand and successfully cope with the mental, physical, emotional and social
changes they experience as early adolescents.

-Developing a student's sense of self-discipline, self-respect, self-reliance and personal responsibility.

We believe:

- Each student is capable of learning and should be held to high expectations.

- Students must be actively engaged in their own learning.

- Our curricula should be integrated.

- Our instructional and assessment strategies must be diverse and emphasize active learning.
