High Mountain Middle School serves approximately 286 students in Grades Five through Eight and follows the teaming concept.  Our goal is to meet the needs of students who are approaching intellectual social, emotional, and physical changes at a rate more rapid than at any other time of their lives.  During these middle school years, students need academic challenges and social experiences in an environment which provides stability.  To accomplish this, the students work with the same core of teachers each year.  The academic program is organized to meet the needs of adolescents.  It is intellectually challenging and provides opportunities to discover and develop new talents and skills.
