Mission Statement

At Runyon Greer Middle School we believe that

the most essential aspect is the students. As
educators it is our job to educate, advocate,
and advise students. We believe that young
adolescents are going through major changes
both cognitively and mentally and we are to
provide our students in a safe, loving, and
encouraging environment by setting up
opportunities to learn and grow. We believe in
preparing our students for high school and
even career development through various
programs.
