The middle school at Catholic Central houses students in grades seven and eight and is basically a school within a school.  We are proud of the fact that we have a separate faculty dedicated to the middle school.  The middle school is purposefully kept small so that it can be the “transitional bridge” from elementary to high school.  Our middle level program guides and supports students educationally, emotionally, and spiritually. Communication with parents and guardians is ongoing and our students are nurtured and encouraged every step in their journey. 

 

The excellence of the middle level program at Catholic Central stems from its clear mission, overall vision, and adherence to rigorous state standards.  We provide structure for our students as we attempt to develop our students to their fullest potential.  We know each child as a student as well as a person.   We meet students at their level of academic achievement.
