A Welcome Message from the Principal, Rich Okoniewski

Students in 7th and 8th grade explore a challenging curriculum at Martin Junior High. During these transitional years, students benefit from a wide variety of learning experiences within a supportive and secure environment. They leave well prepared with a strong foundation for their future. 

Martin Junior High proudly offers your student:

  • Innovative programs in Literacy, Math, Science and Social Studies
  • Career Exploration and Preparation Programs
  • Opportunities for elective experiences in art, band, wood shop, computers, and physical education
  • A wide range of academic supports
  • Full range of co-curricular student activities including Student Council, band, National Junior Honor Society and athletics
  • Implementation of a Positive Behavior Program in grades 7-12 that will promote school pride, a safe environment, and a greater sense of self amongst students!
  • “Prescription Education” – tailoring the needs of students to a prescription of learning that will help ensure better success academically.
  • A separate six period schedule and location for the junior high students. This will provide an identity for the junior high and promote safety in the hallways with different passing times.
  • An environment that fosters a sense of individual attention to students. It also promotes the ability for a student to participate in extra-curricular activities without the fear of competing against large numbers of students.
  • Partnership with Big Brothers/Big Sisters implementing a mentor program with upperclassmen and elementary students. A great way to promote a sense of school community!
  • Online classes offered throughout the school day and after school. This allows the option for students who are non-traditional learners in the classroom. It also gives struggling students the opportunity to re-gain lost credit so they can graduate on time with their peers.
