About Seward Middle School ...

by Brad Best

Seward Middle School serves just over 400 students in grades 5-8. We utilize the concept of grade level teaming and exploratory classes to offer a diverse curriculum, including instructional programs in art, computer education, language arts, sciences, social studies, Spanish, health, family and consumer sciences, mathematics, vocal and instrumental music, physical education, agriculture education, special education, and high ability learner education.

The middle school employs 27 teachers with an average of 16 years of experience. Forty-seven percent of our middle school teachers have earned Master's Degrees.

The activities program for middle school students include: football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, and track. Clubs and other activity groups include: cross country, builder's club, bully response team, and several vocal and instrumental music groups.

The middle school utilizes multiple additions to the original school in Seward.  Sections of the current facility were built in 1904, 1915, 1933, 1950, & 1980.  A new middle school is currently under construction in the northeast part of Seward and is slated to open for the beginning of the 2012-13 school year.
