Mission statement

The goal of Good Hope Middle School is to provide a safe environment where our students can grow, establish positive relationships and experience physical, emotional, social, and intellectual security. We encourage our students to acquire knowledge while learning thinking skills that will allow them to use the knowledge effectively. Middle school students need to learn how to work effectively in groups and to recognize the necessary interdependence of people, while at the same time becoming increasingly self-motivated and self-disciplining. The goal is to provide for the greatest possible achievement and success for all students through accommodating different learning styles and rates of acquisition. Students are encouraged to explore new ideas and to develop individual skills and interests
