Cholla Middle School provides an effective middle-level education preparing young adolescents for high school. Five academic teams are responsible for the delivery of the core academic and elective classes. A full program of services meets the special learning needs of students including Learning Disabled Resource, and a district-supported program for highly gifted students. Art, music and PE are provided for all grade levels.

We believe each student should have the opportunity for maximum growth in self-knowledge, personal discipline, citizenship, social graces, and in diversified academic experience.
