Goddard Public Schools is home to two middle school buildings welcoming students in seventh and eighth grade.

During their two years in middle school, students will:

• Prepare for transition from the elementary/intermediate grades to high school. 
• Gain additional social skills, knowledge, and learning strategies that will be further developed in high school. 
• Develop enhanced learning and study habits, perseverance, and grit as they prepare for their future in high school and beyond.
• Experience additional opportunities to balance more freedoms with more responsibilities. 
• Have opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities. 

The role of the middle school staff includes:

• Creating learning opportunities that challenge students to use reasoning and problem-solving.
• Providing guidance in academics as well as social skills. 
• Supporting and nurturing students as they continue to grow and develop in physical, social, and emotional maturity.
