The William C. McGinnis Middle School Staff, with the continued cooperation of parents, will help students develop an appreciation for excellence, education and leadership. We strive to provide a rigorous curriculum, aligned with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and the New Jersey Common Core Standards, to ascertain that all children learn, as well as, a stimulating academic environment which students find both challenging and interesting. We nurture a sense of curiosity, connection, and love of learning that extends beyond the middle school years. This process will include skills for independent decision making, self esteem, self discipline, and responsibility for themselves, their school, environment and the world. Our efforts will result in students who understand and live the true meaning of the words RESPECT AND LEADERSHIP!
