On Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. on the Landmark Middle School south lawn, students, staff, parents, district leaders, school board members and community members will celebrate the selection of Landmark Middle School as one of California’s 2014 Schools to Watch — Taking Center Stage model middle schools. “We are thrilled to have received this recognition,” said Principal, Dr. Vicky Dudek. “This ceremony is an affirmation of the fine work so many have done in the school, district and larger community. Our talented staff and students have worked hard to demonstrate this achievement.” The celebration will feature an address to the student body on their school’s selection as a model and the presentation of a banner. Dr. Irvin Howard, president of the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform, noted, “Landmark Middle School is a model of what an outstanding middle school can be. School leaders from across the state will now turn to Landmark Middle School for guidance on improving their programs to better serve their students.” Landmark Middle School serves 6th to 8th grade students in the Moreno Valley Unified School District. California’s Schools to Watch —Taking Center Stage program uses a competitive, rigorous review process to identify high performing, high impact middle schools so that all middle schools may have models of real-world success. Landmark Middle School is one of just of 59 model schools that have been identified statewide and one of just three in Riverside County since 2003. The program is provided by the California Middle Grades Alliance, which includes the California League of Middle Schools (CLMS), the lead agency; California Department of Education; and other statewide educational organizations who are partners in the California Middle Grades Alliance.
