Lawrence E. Jones Middle School is a diverse community of learners united by the strong conviction that opportunity comes through education. We strive to be an inclusive campus that upholds equity and social justice. Individuals from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, gender expressions, sexual orientations, abilities, and belief systems make up our community and should be able to bring their full selves. We promote learning as discovery, through independent critical thinking as well as cooperative learning. We strive to model and encourage integrity in a positive and respectful environment. We recognize the potential of every student and offer a rigorous curriculum that is relevant for today's fast changing world and equips our students for the challenges of tomorrow. We recognize and reward perseverance as students begin to take responsibility for their futures. We honor the service of both students and staff, and are committed to the physical, social, and emotional well-being of our school community. To our students and to one another, we offer support and guidance that is rooted in a profound sense of responsibility for the enormously important work we share.
