With grades 6-8, Corbin Middle School houses approximately 665 students. We are unique in that each grade consists of two teams. The teaming concept not only allows students to feel part of an academic family but also assists teachers’ planning time for content. When a rich curriculum is delivered in a family atmosphere, students feel safe, cared for, loved and are ready to learn.
In addition to the teaming concept, Corbin Middle fosters relationships through our Advisor / Advisee( A & A) program. We begin each day in this homeroom, where we explore Social Emotional Learning Curriculum, complete service learning projects, and participate in interest based clubs. A & A is an integral part

along with our other Exploratory options, allows students to truly prepare for the future that lies ahead.
We also believe in the importance of the Arts, as evidenced by a plethora of offerings in music, dance, art, media, technology, theater, and health / physical education. Our Exploratory classes allow students to discover interests and hidden talents. Exposing students to a variety of arts through active experiences, helps students prepare for specialization should they choose to do so in high school.
At Corbin Middle School, we have high expectations that are evidenced in the culture of our building. When you enter our building, you will always be met with a smile and a warm greeting. Students walk the halls with maturity and respect, picking up pencils and holding doors for each other. Teachers are always seen interacting positively with students, not because of any administrative expectation but rather because they chose to teach to impact lives, and they know a teacher’ s impact is only as great as his or her ability to form relationships with students. You will see high expectations on our walls and in our morning messages. You will always see staff working hard to ensure their duties are performed to the best of their ability so that all students are taught, fed, encouraged, loved, and listened to every day. You might pass a student cleaning or a classmate giving a nervous new student a tour, easing her fears of the unknown. You will always see students smiling and enjoying school. This culture is created through intentional choices: we review our expectations clearly and repeatedly with students; we reinforce kindness in all of our programming and discussions with students; we ensure students have a sense of belonging and purpose through our clubs, groups, and course offerings; and we always see every child as capable of success.
It is our belief at CMS that all students can learn and all students will learn. We believe all students can achieve mastery regardless of family background, socio- economic status, race, and / or gender. Our purpose is to educate all students to high levels of academic performance while fostering growth in social-emotional behavior, thus enabling all students to achieve mastery of skills necessary to become effective members of society.
Every day at Corbin Middle School, we embrace the belief that the greatest growth happens before anyone sees the results. We ask our students to work in the dark by choosing perseverance over convenience, character over comfort, and excellence over excuses. As a school, we are committed to doing the same. Together with our families, we are planting seeds that will one day produce confident learners, compassionate leaders, and successful adults. Thank you for trusting us with your child. We are honored to partner with you in this important work. It’ s always a great day to be a Redhound!
