Welcome Message small medium large Welcome to the Mildred E. Strang Middle School! This is a great place. Our staff members are proud to work collaboratively with their colleagues, teams, departments, teacher coordinators and building administrators to provide outstanding instructional programs and to share many wonderful educational experiences with our students, parent/guardians and school community. Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 at Mildred E. Strang Middle School will be able to enjoy exciting academic and extra-curricular opportunities, to discover new interests and skills, and to make new friends and acquaintances each year. Our school is named after Mildred E. Strang who was a teacher, principal and chief administrator of the Yorktown School System. The Strang family originally settled here in the 1720's and Mildred was born in 1904. Ms. Strang grew up in Yorktown when it was mainly farms and a very small town. The Strang Middle School was named after her when it opened in 1969, just upon her retirement after 40 years in the Yorktown Schools. Her portrait is in the Library. Miss Strang died in 1974. Staff members and former students remember her for her sense of humor, warm heart, hard work, tough talk, high standards and her interest in each student and adult as an individual. She was quite a person! Our school was built specifically for middle school students and currently we are home to more than 1000 sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. We provide a comprehensive program including the standard academics, two years of French, Spanish or Italian, art, health, home and career skills, technology, music,and physical education. Also offered are over 30 after- school activities, band, orchestra and chorus. Mildred E. Strang Middle School has a Library/Media center, TV studio, a technology center, art studio complex, swimming pool, and gymnasium. A professional and support staff of approximately 145 individuals and 3 building administrators provide a middle level school experience specifically addressing the needs of early adolescents- our “tween-agers.” The mission of the Yorktown Central School District and Mildred E. Strang Middle School is to provide a comprehensive educational experience and to provide the opportunities for all of our students to do their very best. We will strive to achieve our goals by: • Teaching students the skills, knowledge, and values to become responsible, productive contributors to our school and society. • Ensuring a safe and nurturing environment that promotes higher level thinking, communication, and creativity. • Challenging our students to achieve personal and academic excellence. • Promoting respect for oneself and others, and the understanding of individual differences. • Fostering communication between MESMS staff, students and families. • Helping everyone to "Be Safe, Be Responsible and Be Respectful" at MESMS. • Monitoring the progress and growth of our students.
