 ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Our 1,000-student middle school opened in Fall 2007. The school features a library-media center, cafeteria, 500-seat auditorium, gymnasium, reception area, 25 classrooms, conference rooms, teacher workrooms, and an administration suite housing the nurse's office and treatment room, guidance/counseling offices, and both the principal and assistant principal's offices.
The building is divided into three wings - color-coded red, blue and green. A learning "pod" is situated at the end of each wing. Each pod features: open space for group teaching, pull-out activities, and mobile computer lab lessons; a science demonstration area with 360-degree viewing access; an oversized projection screen; and student lockers.
The school contains 180 desktop computers. Wireless technology will be used to operate an additional 30 mobile computers (over time, this number will grow to 90). In addition, each classroom and all major public spaces are equipped with DVD/VCR televisions and projector screens to enhance learning.
We invite you to learn more about our school by exploring this site. Whether you are a current member of the Alfred G. Waters Middle School "family," a prospective homeowner, or an interested educator, we welcome you!
