Welcome
to Memorial Junior High School Where We Are
“ Serious
About Education! ”
Our school is dedicated to the education
of students in grades 7 – 9 in the Valley Stream Central
High School District. We are focused on providing our students
with the academic and social tools they need to meet the
challenges of the 21st century. Our teaching staff is comprised
of knowledgeable, talented professionals who work diligently
with our students to enable
them to academically excel in their studies. Using rigorous
and challenging classroom instruction and clearly defined
expectations our teachers outline goals and paths for student
success. Each teacher dedicates their talents and energies
to instilling in their students a sense of responsibility
and a love of learning.
Learning is not limited to the academic
classroom. Memorial has an extensive array of extra curricular
clubs and athletic
teams which extend student learning. Because of this our
students are able to explore interests, strengthen their
present skills and learn new ones. Our diverse population
provides an excellent view of the richness various cultures
can bring to a learning
community.
Pride and respect are key elements of Memorial and we work
daily to build a sense of community both in and outside our
school. Everyone at Memorial is dedicated to providing a
rigorous academic program in a nurturing and supportive atmosphere.
The sense of “team spirit” is
built on a daily basis by the interaction between staff,
students and parents. Our parents play an important role
in our school as they actively participate on committees,
in the PTSA and our Eagles Club, continually giving their
support and encouragement.
I invite you to visit our school, attend our plays, athletic
events, concerts and any other Memorial event sponsored during
the year so that you may see Memorial shine! See for yourself
that our school is a wonderful place in which to learn and
grow!
