Vision and Values
Symmes Junior High School
At Symmes Junior High School, the specific needs of young adolescents are recognizes and
addressed. We promote the ongoing, intellectual, social, emotional and physical development
of each student.
Working together, students, parents and teachers ensure that each student receives a quality
education in a safe, fair and compassionate environment. Our school community accepts
and respects each individual as a person of worth and dignity in his or her own right.
Students are provided every opportunity to succeed according to their individual strengths
and abilities. As a middle school, the methods by which we strive to achieve this include:
• Heterogeneous and consistent class groupings
• Academic teaming
• As student-centered approach
• A direct approach to social and emotional needs through an advisory program/student
services
• School-based evaluations
Symmes is committed to the progressive implementation of the middle school philosophy.
Our ultimate goal is to develop informed, thinking, caring and responsible citizens who will
be equipped for the challenges of the 21st century.
