Washington Middle School
Building Confidence. Inspiring Leadership. Preparing for What's Next.
Since 1936, Washington Middle School has been helping students grow academically, socially, and personally during some of the most important years of their educational journey. Today, Washington serves students in grades 7 and 8, providing engaging learning experiences that challenge students to think critically, solve problems, and prepare for success in high school and beyond.
At Washington, students are encouraged to become confident learners, responsible leaders, and active members of their school community. Our dedicated staff creates a welcoming environment where every student is known, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential through academics, athletics, activities, and meaningful relationships.
While generations of students proudly called themselves Wolves, Washington is now part of MPSD's unified Ships family. We honor the traditions that have shaped our school while embracing a shared commitment to excellence, belonging, and student success.
