Veterans Memorial
Middle School, "Home of the Generals"!
What began in 2000 as four trailers housing 76 sixth-grade students has
grown into our current facility hosting nearly 1300 sixth thru eighth
grade students. Our new facility opened in 2001, and we are currently
completing our seventh year in this beautiful building. By combining enthusiastic
students and faculty members with supportive parents and community partners,
Veterans Memorial Middle School looks forward to the educational challenges
of the 21st century.
