This page refers to Marlboro Middle School, not Marlboro Memorial Middle School, in the same school district.

Marlboro Middle School (abbreviated MMS) is a middle school located in Marlboro Township, New Jersey, as part of the Marlboro Public Schools, and goes from sixth grade through eighth.

The three-story Marlboro Middle School building opened to students in September 1976 to house all of the district’s seventh and eighth graders. It is located on a 47-acre campus on County Route 520. The complex is a 146,000 square foot brick building with three independent wings (The A Wing, B Wing, and D Wing). The students are broken into "Quads" or groups that usually go to the same classrooms (except those who are in Honor Classes.) All of the grades have 3 Quads (Teams 6A, 6B, 6C, 7E, 7H, 7F, 8K, 8L, and 8M) and since their average number of students is around 600, all the Quads are split into 125-150 Students. Together with Marlboro Memorial Middle School (which opened in March 2003), the two middle schools now house all of the district’s sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students.

The school's mascot, the Marlboro Hawk, was selected in 1966 by a student survey of the seventh and eighth grade students at Central School. When Marlboro Middle School opened in 1976, the Hawk mascot came with them. ^[1]
