Here at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, we understand that it is a critical period in a student's life, marked by significant changes and growth. It is during this time that students transition from the familiar environment of elementary school and prepare for the challenging and demanding world of high school. Academically, middle school introduces students to a wider range of subjects and deeper levels of learning. Students are exposed to more complex concepts in math, science, language arts, and social studies. This increased rigor challenges their thinking abilities and fosters intellectual growth. We encourage our jaguars to explore their interests through elective courses such as art, music, or technology. These classes allow them to discover their passions and develop skills that may shape their future career paths.
We acknowledge our guarantee to all stakeholders - trustees, taxpayers, community partners, students, parents, staff, and leadership - that our identity and philosophy are built upon our best traditions and aligns modern student needs with the highest level of research and professional learning. The MUSD Governing Board believes in fair and equitable opportunities to empower students to learn deeply and live long healthy lives with the widest array of career opportunities.
OUR VISION - Madera Unified will set the standard for hard work, creativity and resiliency with a fearless drive to continuously improve.
OUR MISSION - We are committed to creating and sustaining a culture enabling Madera Unified students to experience an unparalleled educational journey that is intellectually, socially and personally transformative.
OUR BELIEF STATEMENT - Madera Unified is where students are challenged to broaden their vision, inspired by meaningful opportunities and strive for authentic achievements.
WE BELIEVE - Students have the right to an equitable, quality education that prepares them for life beyond high school. Students have the right to be treated with respect and valued by the school community and students.
Our goal is to provide quality education for all students. This means that every student, regardless of their background or abilities, should have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for future success. To achieve this, MUSD focuses on hiring qualified teachers, providing adequate resources and technology, and implementing effective teaching strategies.
