Vision

What we're working toward

Elmhurst United Middle School seeks to build transformational relationships among staff and students in order to arm young people with a sense of community and self-knowledge, an academic mindset, strong relationship skills, and effective communication so that students build agency toward a positive life trajectory, lifelong learning, and successful membership in their community. No Matter What.

Mission

The work we do
