New Providence Middle School prides itself in being a Military-Friendly school that is committed to helping students and

families that are connected to our nation's military. We here at New Providence Middle School recognize that military

connected children experience unique circumstances due to the nature of military service and its associated obligations.

All staff at New Providence Middle are committed to helping our military connected students become successful at school

as well as in their future endeavors.

New Providence Middle School recognizes and supports our military members and their families through the following
