At Fairfield Middle School, it is our mission to prepare our students for success once they transition into high school, college, and career by developing and enhancing their social, emotional, and academic skills. Our faculty and staff work hard to ensure that we are making strides towards accomplishing this mission daily, by embracing the South Carolina state standards, meeting the demands of rigorous coursework, and helping students develop the World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina graduate. By employing critical thinking skills, collaboration, creativity, and communication our students were able to achieve at high levels during the 2018-2019 school year. 

In the areas of creativity and innovation, the Fairfield Middle School Jr. Beta Club will have six students competing at the National Jr. Beta Club Convention. Selected school-level winners competed in the University of South Carolina Regional Science Fair. The District Honors Chorus have been honored to perform for South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, at the unveiling of the South Carolina African American History Calendar, and will showcase their talents abroad in Italy. For the first time in school history, the Orchestra received a rating of Excellent at the South Carolina Concert Performance Assessment. 

In the areas of critical thinking and problem solving, 3 students were named as South Carolina Junior Scholars. The STEM Early College Academy is now is it's seventh year and students begin taking high school credit courses in middle school. The school sent it's first group of competitors to the National Amazing Shake Competition hosted at The Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, G.A. Fairfield Middle School was proud to have a top 20 finalist in the competition.

In the areas of collaboration and teamwork, Fairfield Middle School students actively participate in the district mentoring initiatives known as the Elite Ladies and the Griffin Bow Tie Club. We are also a Winthrop University and University of South Carolina Partner School.

In the areas of communication, information, media and technology, every classroom is equipped with a ClearTouch Panel, Wi-fi access, and all students have access to Chromebooks through the district's 1:1 technology initiative. We are exceptionally proud of our students excelling on the English 1 End of Course Examination and for showing academic growth in reading and mathematics as evidenced by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment.  We are proud of our accomplishments and will continue to move forward as we work hard to prepare our students for future success in high school and beyond.
