Southern Hills Middle School has a distinguished tradition of high academic standards and outstanding student achievement. We take great pride in providing students a solid foundation of academic excellence, a caring and nurturing environment, and a middle school experience rich in personal relationships. We value creativity and growth, friends and laughter, and most importantly, mastery of learning.
This is a school that benefits from a dedicated and gifted staff. Faculty members have distinguished themselves on a local and state level with numerous awards and acknowledgments. Southern Hills also depends a great deal on a very supportive parent community with marvelous volunteers and stellar home-school communications. Survey results from our parent community indicate a high level of satisfaction with our school and with student achievement.
SHMS students are among the best in Colorado as evidenced from a number of indicators. In additions to very high test scores, students have been recognized for outstanding achievement in local, state, and national competitions in science, history, math and music. Students have at their disposal a wide range of curricular offerings in addition to the rigors of the traditional core program. Moreover, we offer accelerated and honors classes in Math, Language Arts and Foreign Language. The school has an outstanding safety record and receives the highest marks from surveyed parents when compared to other middle schools in the Boulder Valley School District.
Finally, Southern Hills enjoys a welcoming environment and we encourage prospective parents to learn more about the school with a short visit or phone call. We take great pride in our school and love to talk about it!
