Mission Statement

G.S. Lakie Middle School has developed a responsive middle school that promotes high expectations of success. Our school is committed to the understanding that young adolescents are capable of far more than adults often assume. We at G.S. Lakie feel that attaining positive educational and individual success is dependant on the flexibility and the quality of the programs provided for young adolescents.

We believe that middle level educators make conscious choices to work with young adolescents. They will understand the developmental uniqueness of young adolescents and are knowledgeable about the subject matter they teach. We believe that a safe, inviting and caring school promotes a sense of community and encourages learning. As a result, both students and teachers will engage in positive risk-taking, initiative and the development of relationships.
