Salk Middle School Welcomes theClass of 2024
Our VisionEvery student is prepared for high school and is equipped with the skills necessary to achieve at high levels.
Middle School is IMPORTANT in building a solid foundation for high school.
Grit & Perseverance
There is a BIG difference between MS & Elementary
The research shows that students who are “grittier” perform at higher levels and are more successful in school.
Our mission is to provide:
an educational experience where students exceed the standard
a safe and caring environment where students feel supported
an environment with high expectations where students are challenged and work hard
an environment that builds confidence and perseverance in students
