Building Opportunities for Every Student

Our Mission

At Dogwood Middle School we believe that students can learn rigorously through an inspired love of learning through the arts, while pursuing personal, academic and social goals. Ultimately, we believe that the job of our staff is to illuminate pathways for students to claim their powers, so they can become confident and courageous enough to think independently when problem-solving, and be globally aware citizens.

To affirm and prepare students to be their authentic selves through the arts.
