Parkside Junior High's middle school philosophy is committed to fostering a supportive environment that enables students to make the transition from childhood to adolescence.

Our program provides an atmosphere that is intellectually challenging and recognizes the students' physical, emotional, social and academic needs.

At Parkside Junior High School, we believe in the 3 R's:

RESPECT - RESPONSIBILITY - RELATIONSHIPS

To achieve these we will:

  • Encourage respect for self and others.
  • Maintain challenging yet reasonable expectations for all while accepting each person as an individual.
  • Model respect for property and environment.
  • Develop skills necessary to make responsible decisions.
  • Provide the knowledge and understanding necessary to think critically and creatively, both independently and cooperatively.
  • Provide experiences which will encourage the development of values and standards leading to involved citizens.
  • Promote personal achievement.
