Welcome!
Welcome to Mill Creek Middle School
Our school, situated on a beautiful campus in the southeast corner of Catawba County, represents the merging of three distinct communities into an evolving area anchored in rich traditions and a commitment to excellence.
As the bridge between elementary and high school, our intentionally-designed 7th- and 8th-grade middle school program makes education better for growing adolescents. Our educators understand your child's need for both independence and guidance. Teachers work in grade-level teams to nurture each student's individual personality and unique potential.
We embrace rigorous academics, but we also understand that school is about far more. Exploring elective courses and participating in athletics, clubs, and other activities ensure that students are ready for their next exciting learning opportunity.
We are Happily Making Education Better by:
-
Ensuring a safe and healthy environment for students and staff
-
Personalizing our students’ education by getting to know each student’s unique academic, social, and emotional needs
-
Teaching soft skills like character education, teamwork, and collaboration that make our students attractive in the workforce
-
Helping our students explore career options through our extensive Career & Technical Education courses including robotics and graphic design
-
Providing students with technology as a tool for personalized learning including Chromebooks for each student, robotics programs to teach literacy, math, science, and STEM, and more
-
Giving our students the flexibility of taking a variety of courses online through Online Catawba Virtual Academy
-
Offering a well-rounded curriculum that includes foreign language, visual and performing arts like band, chorus, and handbells.
Accountability is Important
We strive for academic excellence, which is why we take the grade we receive on our NC School Report Card (an annual statewide measure of school performance) seriously. In addition, we submit our School Improvement Plan for review and approval as required by state regulations, and our team revises that plan’s goals and strategies regularly.
