The students at J. Michael Lunsford Middle School are high achieving learners who meet the challenges and responsibilities of their global generation. As 21st century citizens, our students acknowledge and value differences, collaborate with others, and foster positive, compassionate relationships. Our students self-regulate and prioritize while setting goals and organizing tasks. They are lifelong learners who think critically and strive for mastery. They advocate for themselves, while pursuing new opportunities as well as anticipating and overcoming roadblocks. Our students graduate college and career ready and are prepared to make meaningful contributions to the world.
