Our School

Mission

The mission of Will Rogers, a student centered middle school that values diversity, is to inspire every student to achieve their highest potential, grow in self confidence and be college and career ready through meaningful learning experiences, challenging innovative instruction and strong partnerships with students, staff, parents and the community.

Objectives

• All students will demonstrate continual growth toward common core standards through multiple measures of assessment.
• Upon transition to high school, every student will acquire and apply college and career readiness skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, written and oral communication.
• In order to become contributing, responsible and caring members of our diverse community, all students will consistently demonstrate the character traits of Pride, Ownership, Wisdom, Excellence and Respect (P.O.W.E.R.)
• By 2017, in order to ensure success for all students, achievement gaps between the highest lowest performing groups will be reduced by 50%.
