About Us

Vision

Pelham Middle School is a community for learners.

We believe that all learners need to be rigorously challenged; that all learners need to be empowered with both the basic skills and the critical thinking ability that will enable them to become productive contributing members of a racially and culturally diverse, yet increasingly interdependent, world.

We believe in the value of both individual effort and group cooperation.

We believe that our school needs to be a safe, caring place of learning; a place that recognizes the unique value of each person who studies or works in our midst.

We want to build and continually nurture a school climate that recognizes the importance of serious work and fun too; a school climate that delights in the wonder, energy, and excitement of students in the middle grades of their public education.

Character Statement

In our Pelham Middle School community, we strive to make a positive impact on the world around us. Through demonstrating personal responsibility and embracing challenges, we act as continuous learners. At times, we experience discomfort or encounter conflict. It is during these moments that we truly learn through self-reflecting– asking tough questions of ourselves, asking curious questions of others, and being prepared to be changed by what we hear. Pelham Middle School is a safe and caring place where every person is supported, celebrated, challenged, and treated with worth and dignity.

P.R.I.D.E.

Pelham P.R.I.D.E. is simply a collection of positive characteristics and behaviors that, we believe, will make our school an even better place for students to learn and grow into productive, happy young adults.

The acronym P.R.I.D.E. stands for a set of characteristics that all students should strive to meet. When students are preparedrespectfulinvolved and determined in all areas of school, the results areexcellent! Please become familiar with the behaviors associated with Pelham P.R.I.D.E.

Parents and students are encouraged to discuss what makes these behaviors desirable.
