Academics

Hale Middle School students have the opportunity to explore their interests through a variety of elective offerings.

We believe that fine arts education is essential for the development of the whole child. It provides our students unique experiences that allow them to explore their passions, express themselves creatively, and teach them valuable lessons about self-motivation, dedication, teamwork and communication.

All students deserve the chance to learn how to communicate effectively so they are prepared for college, career, and life. Through our English Language Arts, students develop in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. They learn to make meaning, write clearly and think critically.

Math allows us to make sense of chaos, be musicians, carpenters, mechanics, doctors, engineers, scientists, and more. All students can learn math! Our students study, engage and learn challenging mathematical concepts that will prepare them for college, career, and life.

Reading may be supplemental to language arts classes or integrated into content within language arts classes. They are designed to reinforce language arts objectives, enrich the appreciation and understanding of literature, and/or improve reading skills.

Every move we make involves decisions that include the application of scientific principles. Science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) occupations and fields are experiencing exponential growth leading to rewarding and challenging careers.

Social studies develops students who can make informed decisions and participate as responsible citizens in an increasingly diverse, global society.  Students who are well-versed in social studies are able to enhance their knowledge, perspectives, and character to more deeply understand themselves and the world around them.

We prepare our students to become multilingual, multiliterate, and multicultural and to understand, embrace, and value the benefits they provide in the 21-century global society.
