Welcome to Open House/Informational Evening 2025!

Welcome!

At McClure Middle School we are committed to helping all our students navigate through the middle school experience by providing academic and social/emotional supports and education throughout their three years with us.  Our goal is for them to be confident and well-prepared for the next step in their education journey: high school!  We strive to challenge our students to their highest levels while teaching life-long skills of critical thinking, problem solving and team building. Students are taught to self-reflect on their learning, take ownership of their achievement and embrace new experiences that might be outside of their comfort zone. We provide ample opportunities for students to stretch themselves and take action to make their world a better place!

Thank you for joining us this evening. We hope you will glean an overview of all that we have to offer here at McClure.  I am confident that you will have a great introduction to our school.  As the principal, I am incredibly proud of the work of our students and staff.       Go Mavs!
