 ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
In 2002, Louis L. Redding Middle School celebrated its 50th anniversary as a dynamic learning institution dedicated to helping students in grades 6–8 attain the highest level of academic, artistic, social, emotional and physical well-being. Our school takes its name from the pioneering civil rights attorney Louis Lorenzo Redding, who practiced in Delaware. Like Mr. Redding, we emphasize respect and responsibility for both students and staff. Our goal is to create successful learners who are global citizens committed to excellence.
We invite you to learn more about our school by exploring this site. Whether you are a current member of the Louis L. Redding Middle School "family," a prospective homeowner, or an alumni returning for a cyberspace homecoming, Louis L. Redding Middle School welcomes you!
