Magruder Middle School - Home of the Mustangs!
Philip Magruder Middle School is a Title I school located in the heart of the North 雅伎著 community.
Magruder prides itself on our ethnic diversity. We believe this diversity allows students to learn from each other's culture and gain a better worldview of themselves. The middle school years are a time of many changes for our students: physically, emotionally and intellectually. Our campus and community is dedicated to providing protection, guidance, and support for students to walk through these times and on to high school.
Our strong academic emphasis is on the college readiness of math and literacy skills of our students. Each teacher works to strengthen our students' abilities in these areas through ongoing staff development, targeted lesson plans, and quantitative measuring. We believe math and literacy are the cornerstones, not just for college readiness, but for joining a workforce in a world demanding higher and more complex math and literacy skills.
Magruder's success is a community effort. The School Site Council (SSC) helps to determine guidelines, budget allocation and other important elements affecting Magruder. The SSC is made up of administrators, teachers, parents and students. Our Parents, Teachers and Students Association (PTSA) provides our school with the extra funding for programs and material not provided by the general school fund. Programs such as field trips, Adventures in Art, school dances, and additional school purchases are only made possible by the PTSA. Please see the office or contact the PTSA to become more involved in either SSC or PTSA.
Like our mascot, the Mighty Magruder Mustang, we are strong, intelligent, and powerful. We thrive in our herd and yet each of us has very independent spirit.
