About Us

Mark Twain Middle School is a campus that exudes collaboration, cooperation and community; although we offer six different pathways and programs into our school, we are all MARK TWAIN SHARKS and that's how we want our students and staff to feel every time they walk through our doors.

Our Vision and Mission

We are a school that uses LIFE- Leading Individuals For Empowerment to ensure rigorous academic instruction and achievement for students. Our school community is empowered to be active participants in learning. Embedded within this learning process is continuous reflection on and refinement of the essential question: Who am I?
We continuously face challenges with the guiding questions,
How can I help to improve myself?
How can I help to improve my community?
How can I help to improve my world?
