Share the Good News!

Each year our parents, students and teachers have the privilege of spreading the good news about Snellville Middle School.  Faculty and Staff are stopped frequently by parents (and grandparents) who are proud their children attend our school.  There are only a few times in the school year when we can share our thoughts and be counted.  Within the last year, our school has been recognized by the state of Georgia and the Georgia Association of Secondary School Principals for outstanding academic progress and achievement. Our expectations for our students to be leaders in and outside of the classroom, our high academic and behavioral expectations coupled with caring and committed teachers is the foundation of our drive for excellence.

 

A few SMS Highlights and “Bragging” points:

  • 100% of our 8th graders enrolled in the High School Biology course achieved Distinguished; Outranking 8th & 9th graders in Biology across our entire district!

  • Our school was recognized by the GASSP as a Distinguished Break-Out Middle School for student academic achievement and progress.

  • Leading middle school Junior Leadership Corps program in the district.

  • Conducted over 300 student-led conferences to help students become responsible leaders in their education and practice 21st Century soft-skills for College and the Workplace.

  • 75% - 80% of our 8th grade students are currently taking at least one High School course and able to receive high school credit upon successful completion.

  • Over 1/3 of our student population participates in the Fine Arts department

  • Over 2/3’s of our student population participates in both Fine Arts and/or Student Leadership organizations

 

Parents, we need YOU to share the good news about what is happening at Snellville Middle! I want to thank all of our parents who continuously share in the community all of the great work that is happening at SMS.
