Mission and Vision
At John Muir Middle School, we are committed to providing a quality education for our students that will prepare them to accomplish the Mission and Vision that we have for each student. We believe that students will need a high school diploma so that they will have choices as they decide on a career for their adult lives. The paths will vary for each student, but a high school diploma is an important first step for every person in order to be an effective contributor to our city, county, state, and country.
We believe that adults in the 21st Century will need some sort of advanced training in order to get a job that pays a decent wage that can support a person above the poverty level. That will come through some form of college. College can be a University, a junior college, a trade school, a certificate program, a military career, a technical school, etc. Students will not have to have a four year university diploma to be successful and afford the necessities of life, but in most cases they will need some sort of training beyond high school in order to do a job.
We believe that all people need to be lifelong learners. The world will never look the same from year to year. New technology requires new learning. New advances in society will always require the ability to learn new things. We want students who will want to and be able to continue to learn as they become adults.
We believe that living a life of character is as important as learning. Students who work hard, treat others with respect, obey the laws, and live the six pillars of character (Fairness, Caring, Citizenship, Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility) will be successful citizens in our democratic society.
We hope you enjoy our web site! It is just a small glimpse into what we are doing here at JMMS.
