MISSION

Mr. Frank Devall, Jr. - PRINCIPAL OF MARTIN MIDDLE SCHOOL

Welcome to Edward R. Martin Middle School, home to over 900 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders in East Providence, Rhode Island. MMS provides an individualized learning environment through a House system. The four Houses; Freedom, Hope, Courage, and Liberty have teams of students and teachers, a House Leader, a Guidance Counselor and a secretary.

Students find support, guidance and identity within each House. Supporting the teams are teachers from unified arts (home economics, art, shop), band and chorus, and physical education/health. Additionally librarians, foreign language teachers, computer teachers, resource, special education, and ESL teachers round out a well-balanced middle school program.

In addition to our academic program, Martin Middle School offers extra-curricular activities which provide students an opportunity to develop skills and confidence in sports, drama, music, and student government. Groups such as the school newspaper, the Student Council, and many other clubs have all contributed to create a student-centered school.

Throughout the years, Martin Middle School has won many academic, artistic, music, and athletic awards making Martin one of the most successful middle schools in Rhode Island.

On behalf of the administration, faculty and staff, I invite school community members to become active participants in the education of the students of MMS. The success of MMS depends on our working together. With our efforts focused on this goal, the students of Martin Middle School will be provided the opportunity to reach their potential - and with confidence and conviction, face the challenges of this changing world!
