Charlestown Middle School’s small-school community helps create a sense of belonging for each student. “Because of our size and because of our community, we can really get to know the kids and we get to know the families,” said teacher Mary Gnadinger. “We can communicate better, and we can really meet the needs of our students better.” A variety of academic offerings along with exciting elective classes and diverse extracurriculars provide opportunities for each student to learn and grow while pursuing their individual interests.
