Neville Junior High School’s Journey to Excellence

WELCOME TO NEVILLE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, A place where excellence is not only the destination but also the starting point. Our school’s motto, “Excellence for All, Excellence from All,” reflects our commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment where every student can achieve their academic potential. Our mission is clear: to prepare students for lifelong learning and college and career readiness while easing the transition from elementary school to junior high school and beyond.

At Neville Junior High School, we recognize the significance of the journey students embark on during their formative years. That is why we place great emphasis on building strong connections with our feeder elementary schools and Neville High School. By working collaboratively with these institutions, we ensure a seamless transition for our students, helping them adapt to the challenges of each educational phase while nurturing their independence and sense of responsibility.

One of the unique aspects of our curriculum is the opportunity for students to earn numerous high school credits before they even reach Neville High School. Our diverse range of classes, such as Algebra I, journalism, physical science, Intro to BCA (Business and Computer Applications), Quest for Success, and gifted courses, empowers students to explore their interests and accelerate their learning journey. Additionally, we take immense pride in fostering artistic talent through our talented art programs.

A key component of our educational approach lies in our commitment to effective instruction every day. Our dedicated educators focus on three fundamental pillars: Skillful Curriculum Use, Demonstration of Learning, and Setting High Expectations for all Students. By adhering to these principles, Neville Junior High prepares students not only for academic success but also for the challenges of the real world.

Beyond the classroom, we recognize the importance of engaging students in extracurricular activities. Our school offers a wide array of opportunities in academics, athletics, and the arts, allowing each student to find their passion and flourish. From competitive sports like soccer, cheerleading, football, and softball to enriching electives like choir, art, computer applications, journalism, film, yearbook, Spanish, band, and orchestra, we strive to cater to the diverse interests of our student population. Moreover, our students can participate in student council, robotics/STEM club, and the robotics team, encouraging teamwork and innovative thinking.

Neville Junior High firmly believes that the involvement of the community is integral to the development and success of our students and school environment. Our faculty and staff work tirelessly to build strong relationships with students, parents, and community members. This collaborative effort forms the foundation of a familycentered school experience, wherein we focus on nurturing the whole child to become productive and responsible members of society.

We understand that choosing the right junior high school for your child is an essential decision for any parent. At Neville Junior High, we are dedicated to providing a well-rounded and individualized education that prepares students for a lifetime of learning. We strive to instill in them not only a thirst for knowledge but also a passion for making a positive impact on the world around them.
