Jack Jouett Philosophy What is best for kids? Teaching for Learning No excuses All means All Data driven decisions Teachers Make the Difference

Purpose of middle school? The overarching purpose of all schooling in our society is to help students become good citizens, lifelong learners, and healthy, caring, ethical, and intellectually reflective individuals. The skills, knowledge, and personal competence that students acquire in school should enable them to be successful now and in the future.
