New School Logo
A New School Logo design was chosen in a contest that was held in the fall of 2015. Makayla Maule, 7th graders at Southern Middle School was named the winner in the school's contest. The contest to design a new logo was sponsored by the school and was open to students in all three grades, 6th, 7th, and 8th. Makayla's winning design is pictured below. She was presented with a check for $100 as a prize and her logo is now being used on the school's letterhead, the backdrop for the daily morning news broadcasts as well as all new school T-shirts. Makayla is the daughter of Jeffrey and Angela Maule in Mountain Lake Park. Makayla and her design was featured in the Republican Newspaper later in the year as seen in the above scrolling pictures.
Southern Middle School Mission Statement
At Southern Middle School our mission is to create a positive learning atmosphere that nurtures active, young creative minds. Through a collaborative effort with teachers, parents, and community members, students are challenged to meet our school’s high expectations. The school’s academic program of study infuses technology, teaches life skills, and encourages students to actively participate in their learning. The school’s curriculum encompasses the development of the total child: moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical. As a result, students will be able to demonstrate values that allow them to act with empathy toward humanity in a diverse and ever-changing society.
