Clifdale Middle helps all students develop world-class skills and life and career characteristics of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate in a community school atmosphere that offers personal, one-on-one interaction with teachers, staff, coaches, and classmates. Our theme for the school year was Together as One Since 2021.
Clifdale Middle helps students develop skills through the continued implementation of one-to-one mobile technology. Students use their personal devices to research, create, communicate, and collaborate on class assignments. Students participate in career exploration through elective courses and career sessions with the guidance department. AVID classes research colleges and universities and visit local institutions of higher learning.
Through school-wide initiatives that focus on cognitive, social, emotional, and civil growth, Clifdale Middle fostered an environment that promotes learning and the betterment of self. Clifdale Middle offered opportunities for students to excel in academics through academic clubs, a spelling bee, stem robotics, and Medical Detectives. The Beta Club inducted over 170 new members and was named a National Beta School of Distinction and School of Merit. Student-athletes won multiple championships and tournaments. Our band received an excellence award from the South Carolina Band Directors Association. This year our Centurions proved they were Together as One Since 2021.
