James C. Wright Middle School

James C. Wright Middle School JC Wright was created to provide a middle school option for families in MMSD. What began as Madison Middle School 2000, emerged into James C.

Wright Middle School due to the active participation, desires and concerns of area residents. Dozens of people submitted a request to the Madison School Board to name the new school after the late Reverend James Colemon Wright of Mount Zion Baptist Church. What makes Wright unique is its charter agreement with the School Board. The major points of Wright’s Charter are as follows:

Innovative, fl

exible approaches to teaching and learning with appropriate integration of technology;

An environment characterized by challenge, support, choice, and respect;

Student learning with a social action and citizenship focus;

A staff that is committed to providing a developmentally appropriate and multicultural curriculum; and

A staff commitment to on-going professional development.

Our 7th and 8th graders had an amazing field trip to Chicago, where they learned about the rich heritage and history of Puerto Rico. Students explored Puerto Rican culture, traditions, and contributions while also enjoying the opportunity to try authentic Puerto Rican food. It was a meaningful and memorable experience that brought learning to life and helped students connect with a vibrant culture in a fun and engaging way. 🇵🇷✨

Thank you so much for having us there! ✨❤️
