Nixa Junior High Vision: The vision of Nixa Junior High School is to establish an atmosphere of high expectations and to provide a safe learning environment that encourages individuals to reach their potential.

 

Nixa Junior High School will be unique in that we place a strong emphasis on a student’s academic focus, but also upon the importance of their involvement in school-wide athletics and activities. Nixa Junior High students will take classes in communication arts, math, science and social studies, as well as elective/encore classes, for 50 minutes each day. Nixa Junior High School's focus on high academic standards and maximum time on task in the classroom will promote higher order thinking skills.

* Educators Committed to "Your" Adolescent
