Mission (School District of Superior): Provide all children with the relevant tools to develop a foundation for living, learning and working successfully.
At Superior Middle School we have identified 40-50 at-risk students. These students are struggling with academics and/or interpersonal skills. Our SMS Transition Program incorporates approximately 25 Superior High School students to support / tutor / mentor our middle-schoolers. There are several elements to our yearlong program:
- Setting goals and using self-reflection to help change their destructive behavior patterns
- Academic support
- Teambuilding
- Mentoring / positive role modeling
- Organizational skills
This program also develops leadership skills for our high school mentors. Our hope is that our middle-schoolers and high school mentors will continue making positive choices and a positive impact within our Superior Community.
Vision: The School District of Superior is a learning community characterized by a responsive, child-centered philosophy that respects diversity and supports high expectations for the learning of all in a safe environment.
