About Our School
Welcome to MPMS!! We are excited to have you and your family as part of the MPMS family! Mid-Prairie Middle School houses all 5th - 8th graders in the district.
We have approximately 440 students and over 50 staff members. At MPMS, you will find a safe learning environment based on treating all people with respect, a staff that works diligently to help the “whole” child, and a community that invests in the future of our students. We don’t just teach students and evaluate their “data,” we work hard to create meaningful relationships with each student on an individual basis so we can best prepare them for high school and life. Our goal is to help our students grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
We recognize the middle school years can be hard for students. To help our students grow as young people and as learners, we adhere to the five pillars of MPMS PRIDE:
Personal Responsibility
Respect Yourself and Others
Invest in Your Work
Dare to Take a Risk
Everyone is Included
The staff at MPMS works hard to personalize learning for all of our students. We are proud of having high expectations for learning and citizenship. Further, we are very excited about the educational and extracurricular opportunities offered at MPMS. Some of these opportunities include:

To ensure our students have the best middle school experience possible, we need the support and involvement of our parents and families. There are many ways for families to be active participants in the education of their MPMS student(s) -- by accessing student academic information on PowerSchool, reinforcing and supporting school policies and procedures at home, communicating questions or concerns with staff in a timely manner, monitoring student online behavior or by becoming a member of our MP Student Booster program.
