The Muhlenberg Middle School is a learning community consisting of more than 850 students serviced by over 100 staff members. Our school is very proud of our excellence and high standards in academics, athletic programs, and performing arts.

The building is organized into two core teams in each of the three grade levels. Each team is comprised of approximately 135 students. The concept of teaming allows the team of teachers the ability to work collaboratively to meet the needs of the students. The core team of teachers delivers instruction in math, science, English, reading and social studies. Over the course of the students' three years at the middle school they will also receive instruction in art, music, languages, physical education, library skills, study skills, computers, technology education, family consumer science and health.

Through the implementation of numerous student support services and a varied co-curricular program, all students are encouraged to achieve success.

At the middle school our day begins in homerooms where students have the opportunity to meet with teachers, hear the announcements of the day and organize their thoughts and belongings for the day.

We follow a six-day cycle schedule, made up of eight 42-minute periods. During the day students meet with core teachers (English, science, social studies, reading and math) and on specific days they may meet with a variety of creative art teachers (languages, art, music, technical education, family consumer science, computer, study skills, physical education, health and library skills).

The middle school has a full-time English Language Learner teacher who instructs, tests and creates schedules for limited or non-English speaking students. In 2006-2007, the morning announcements will be delivered in various languages.

Gifted and special education services are available for students in need of supportive services.

Students are encouraged to participate in extra curricular activities. Beginning in sixth grade, intramurals, band, chorus, AV, Math Counts, school newspaper, yearbook, volunteer club, and student council are all available. In addition, students in grades seven and eight can participate in PIAA-sponsored sports.

Recently, the middle school has been recognized in Berks County competitions and state competitions for a number of first-place awards, including Science Fair, Reading Olympics, MathCounts, poetry and computer.

Safety has been one of our main focuses at the middle school. Provisions have been made by administration and the board to provide our building with state-of-the-art equipment and training. In addition, administration is supportive when disciplinary issues need to be addressed.

The middle school has been designed to meet the academic and social needs of our students. Our team of teachers, counselors, IST team and SAP team work collaboratively with administrators to offer parents the opportunity to meet and discuss their social or academic concerns.

Administration is always willing to meet with you. Please visit us to discuss your concerns, answer your questions or just see your child's school.

Thank you,
Mrs. Albright
