MAYFIELD MIDDLE SCHOOL  Grades 5-8

 We are working with a new building because the school district that we are in had a junior high that was not set-up for a middle school setting.  The building is one level and each grade has its own section.  The classes are by teams and there is one team per grade.  The gym also functions as an auditorium.  We have a big music and art rooms as well as a large library. There are two computer labs. One for the 5th and 6th grades and one for the 7th and 8th grades.
