responsibilities of secondary education. At Mustang North Middle School and Mustang Middle School, 6th, 7th and 8th graders move from the elementary concept of having one teacher in a class of approximately 20 students to a “team” environment. Rather than being mixed into what could be a group as large as 300 students in a grade level at each middle school, the students instead are integrated into a learning community of around 150 students. Those students all share the same teachers for the core subjects.

With the team approach, where teachers can get to know a group of students, the faculty works with the students on character education as well as decision making and defining goals. Teachers at Mustang’s middle schools are encouraged to provide a level of guidance, not as counselors, but as advocates for the students.

Students in middle school have the freedom to explore their interests by choosing from a plethora of elective classes. Education at Mustang Middle School and Mustang North Middle School is personalized as much as possible. By the time the students reach high school, many will have an idea of what career path interests them.

For the 2007-2008 school year, MNMS and MMS shaved one minute off each class and shortened passing periods to offer a 20-minute advisory/enrichment period. Students have the opportunity to get help with homework, learn organizational skills and other basic strategies to be successful, or to take part in an enrichment activity.


MMS students study for academic team tryouts during their advisory time.

Besides homework help, students can choose to read an Accelerated Reader book, play games or take part in enrichment activities. At Mustang North Middle School, for example, teachers are using the time to offer enrichment activities in things like automotive repair, journaling, scrapbooking, public speaking and more. Instead of punishing students for not doing what they should be doing, this program rewards students who are doing all the right things to be successful.
