Philosophy Statement
The years between elementary and senior high school can be challenging for students, parents, and teachers. These formative years involve changes in the physical, emotional and intellectual nature of our students. With these changes come an open-minded quality, an enthusiasm and a healthy curiosity. We believe these qualities can be used to nurture an understanding of self, an appreciation of one’s place in society and a respect for knowledge and critical thinking. It is with these ideas in mind that we at Hastings Middle School have created our philosophy.
