School Highlights

Junior Scholars

Wright Middle School was honored to have one 8th grade student recognized as a Junior Scholar for her score on the PSAT.  Congratulations to Emma Creswell for this outstanding accomplishment.

Students Spread Christmas Cheer

Mrs. S. Temple's 8th grade English I class partnered with Westwood and Long Cane to share some Christmas joy in December.  Our middle school students worked together in small groups to write and illustrate children's books.  They worked so hard to create physical books as well as online versions, and they were able to all read to the younger children. 

Golden Apple Award

​Wright MIddle School's Jana Milford was selected as WYFF's Golden Apple Award winner. She was nominated by one of her students, Lauryn Murray. Her nomination letter described Mrs. Milford perfectly as "kind-hearted, gentle, patient, nice, good listener, and just an overall amazing teacher". She is an inspiration to everyone. Her hard work and her dedication to her students is admirable and we are so proud of her!
