Macedonia Elementary-Middle School ready for RESET
Macedonia Elementary-Middle School’s theme for the 2022-23 school year is RESET, which stands for Raising Expectations for Student-centered Engagement and Teacher Quality. It is our goal to create an environment in which excellence is the expectation for everyone in our building.
We are committed to making sure our students are engaged in high quality instruction every day. One way we will accomplish this by providing our teachers with the necessary resources and professional development opportunities to increase teacher efficiency and teacher quality of instruction, with efforts that will lead to our ultimate goal of student achievement.
Williston-Elko Middle School is “One Team, One Dream”
The 2022-2023 theme for Williston -Elko Middle School is One Team, One Dream! What does that mean to us? One Team, One Dream is about getting everybody on the same page & working as a team. It charges each admin, scholar, teacher, parent, staff member & all other stakeholders with doing their part, so that the WEMS team wins.
What does it look like when the team wins? It looks like high expectations, rigorous lesson, engaged scholars, a committed staff, community partnerships & a respectful & safe culture.
We visualize our team as a cruise ship. Everybody on one ship is headed in one direction for one port of call, ultimately reaching our destination safely and on time!
All aboard! One Team, One Dream, WEMS!

Blackville-Hilda High School focuses on ABCs (Academics, Behavior, Community)
Our theme this year is ABC - Academics, Behavior, and Community. We decided on this theme because we wanted to focus on advancing our scholars academically on End of Course exams and increase our graduation rate.
We want our scholars to understand that their behavior directly correlates to their academics and that without the support of the community, we will not be successful. Community support will allow us to have a terrific year.
