At John Philip Sousa Middle School, excellence is the standard! Our goal is to help our students become change agents in their communities and the world at large. We set extremely high expectations for our students and utilize technology to enrich our strong academic programs. We offer a variety of classes that push students to become productive citizens, and leaders in the quest for social justice. Additionally, we provide resources that promote social growth and character development. Through critical thinking, inquiry, creativity and appreciation of the arts, Sousa Scholars are able to connect to themselves, each other, all cultures, and the beauty of the world. The arts, including dance/ movement, theater/ drama, music, and visual arts are integrated into the curriculum of all grades and classes.
