School Beliefs
We, the stakeholders of Lanier Middle School, believe that learning is our
primary focus. We believe that every student should learn to respect themselves,
peers, faculty, staff, administrators and community members. Reading and writing
are essential elements in the learning process and should be implemented across
the curriculum. Students have different learning styles; therefore, various
instructional approaches should be presented to support their learning.
Furthermore, we believe that assessments should demonstrate students’
understanding of key skills and knowledge, as well as their ability to solve
real-world problems in daily life. We believe that teachers, administrators,
parents and the community should share the responsibility for decision-making
that enables students to become confident, self-directed members of society.
More importantly, we believe that every student should have the privilege
of learning in a safe, positive environment.
School Mission
The mission of Lanier Middle School is to prepare our students to read with
comprehension, write effectively, perform mathematical operations and problem-solve
logically, so that by the end of middle school they can make a successful
transition into high school.
