    The Mears mascot is a black panther and our school colors are gold and black.

     

    Mears Middle School is named after Jane Wainwright Mears. Mrs. Mears helped to form the first school in Î÷Ê©Ö±²¥APP in 1915. The Pioneer School House is currently an historic building. A biography of Jane Wainwright Mears can be found on the .

     

  • Teams

    Mears is organized around a middle school, team format. The students of a team generally share the same science, language arts, math, and social studies teacher. This gives students a smaller learning community, since a team typically consists of only 130 students. A team's teachers have a specific time period during the day in which they meet together. Some activities that teachers do during this time are: discussing upcoming projects and coordinating curriculum, discussing students who stand out and those who may need additional help, planning field trips, team events, and more. Use the Team link on the left to see a list of team names and the teachers that contribute to that team.

    The Î÷Ê©Ö±²¥APP School District Middle School Handbook provides students with rules, guidelines, and procedures for many things. All students should read the handbook and be familiar with what it contains. Use the link on the left to access a digital version of the handbook.

    The following description is from the introduction page.

    "This Program of Studies is designed to assist parents and students with course selection by giving a brief description of the curriculum content of each course. School district-required courses in language arts, mathematics, physical education, health, science and social studies are offered at each school. The elective courses taught at your school are dependent upon the interests of the parents and students, and the availability of staff. Not all elective courses are taught at every school."
