"Mesa Verde Middle School is committed to equipping all students with the academic and social competencies needed for them to be productive members of the world in which they will live.  We believe that students must be taught responsibility, how to make decisions, and the communication skills that will be needed for them to function in a global society.  Learning must occur in an environment free from prejudice and harassment, but rich in mutual respect.  It is our belief, then, that we must implement programs and create conditions that maximize learning success for ALL students.  We are dedicated to helping each student "become his/her best".
