Washington Irving Middle School
-
At the Washington Irving Middle School, we believe all students are capable of learning, thinking, and developing their social-emotional skills beyond their expectations. Irving students adopt a growth mindset and demonstrate our school core values: respect, responsibility, and integrity. Irving staff cultivate a safe, loving, and engaging learning environment that encourages all students to take risks as they seek knowledge. As a result, Irving students become passionate lifelong learners who apply their thinking skills beyond our classrooms to solve and address injustices in their communities.
