Unity
By Cleo V. Swarat
 
I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there,
The clay they used was a young childs mind
And they fashioned it with care. 
 
One was a teacher:
the tools she used were books and music and art;
One was a parent
With a guiding hand and gentle loving heart.
 
And when at last their work was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought.
For the things they had worked into the child
Could never be sold or bought!
 
And each agreed she would have failed
if she had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school, 
and behind the teacher stood the home!

From the Principal

Welcome to Driscoll Middle School, the place to be.
Driscoll is working to incorporate the strategies behind the 40 Developmental Assets into our daily interactions with our students.  This framework allows us to intentionally encourage, strengthen, and support our students by continually developing research-based experiences and qualities to help them thrive.
 
We want to create and maintain a personalized environment ensuring that every student of the school community reaches the highest level of academics.  This year, parents and students will see our emphasis on "vertical learning communities" making strong connections from elementary through high school-to ensure student success.
 
Stop by, let's talk about your child's education or call me at
