We will focus on students’ positive character development so students are prepared for success in high school, college, and careers. We want students to make positive contributions to the community.

At Dallas Ranch Middle School:

Ø We believe that ALL members of the school community: students, parents, teachers, administrators, and support staff must model good character by displaying trustworthiness, respectfulness, responsibility, fairness, caring, and positive citizenship.

Ø We are a place that values diversity, where students are active participants and feel a sense of belonging and pride. Aviators learn to be responsible for the success of themselves and others.

Ø Students understand the importance of learning and have a desire to achieve to the best of their ability. They receive support in their academic endeavors and learn to be critical thinkers.

Ø Aviators are well-rounded individuals with opportunities to develop their bodies and minds through sports, clubs, electives, and other extra-curricular activities.

Please remind your student/s not to loiter at local businesses after school. It can be a safety issue.
