Mission Statement and School Improvement Plan The staff of Lovinggood Middle School is dedicated to promoting an environment that fosters an alliance among staff, students, parents, and community. Each one of us is committed to educating and encouraging intellectually reflective adolescents en route to a lifetime of meaningful work. Beliefs that guide us: All students must be given the opportunity to develop their individual gifts. Schools must set high academic and social expectations. Schools must have challenging learning environments which provide strategies and skills to develop independent thinking and lifelong learning. Teachers must be knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate about their subject matter and student achievement. Schools must provide an emotionally and physically safe environment for all students to achieve their maximum potential. Parents, teachers, and students must work together to reinforce a positive climate.	Our most recent school newscast is posted here for your information.
