t Thunder Mountain Middle School providing a warm, academically challenging environment for all students is our highest priority. Our staff members are committed to working with students and
families to support the academic, social, and emotional growth of each
child. Our curriculum covers a variety of concepts and ideas, which are
presented in a way that offers a wide variety of subject matter designed
to promote reflection and exploration that is appropriate for adolescent
children.
Having opened in the fall of 2000, Thunder Mountain Middle School is
the newest school in the Enumclaw School District. The facility is organized into three “neighborhoods”, where students and teachers are
members of grade level teams. Structuring the school in this way has
allowed for the development of close relationships between students
and staff members, and stronger partnerships between teachers and
families. This, in turn, allows staff members to provide immediate support to students who would benefit from additional challenges or who
require additional support to succeed.
Students at Thunder Mountain Middle School are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities and athletics to help facilitate a sense
of connectedness with school. Our extensive athletic and after-school
activity programs offer students in grades six through eight a number
of opportunities to participate in after-school programs.
Thunder Mountain parents are encouraged to become active members
of the school community. We are fortunate to have the strong support
of parent volunteers for a variety of school events, and an active PTSO
whose members meet regularly in the interest of promoting a positive
school climate.
The Thunder Mountain Middle School staff members recognize the role
that a student’s middle school experiences play in building confidence
and fostering academic success in high school and beyond. In addition
to providing students with strong academic skills, we are also committed to supporting students as they become responsible, contributing
citizens in our community.
