Be Responsible. Be Respectful. Be an Oriole.
Thank you for your interest in O. J. DeJonge Middle School! We take pride in being educators who are committed to providing a top-notch academic experience for each of our students. Our school’s vision is more than just words to us; it is the culmination of rich and meaningful work involving our entire faculty on what middle school students need, why we teach and the importance of every curricular area to the development of our students. We pride ourselves in offering a broad and rich curriculum, as well as a growing complement of co-curricular groups and organizations that provide a comprehensive and meaningful education for students. Please click on links located on this page to see our course offerings, co-curricular groups, 8th-grade camp overview and other information about the student experience at OJMS.
Our Vision
The O. J. DeJonge Middle School community inspires learning through inquiry, relationships and self-awareness in an experience-rich environment that promotes independence and responsibility.
Professional Learning
Teaching is a critical, complex and rewarding endeavor. It is arguably the most important job in the world. O. J. DeJonge Middle School teachers strive to inspire their students, but even the most reflective and dedicated teachers need support to continue developing and refining their practice. To that end, our faculty is committed to engaging in professional learning opportunities that result in actual improvements in teaching and learning. We participate in multiple professional development sessions each month for teachers to learn of new research-based practices, share what they are trying with their colleagues, and have professional conversations meant to increase their reflectiveness about their practice. Much of this work occurs on Professional Learning Communities (PLC) Days, and we are truly grateful for our own community's support that allows us to take several days throughout the year for learning with colleagues. We are proud of our educators' dedication to serve as champions for all kids.
