Nipher Middle School

Welcome to Nipher Middle School a Missouri Gold Star School. In receiving this prestigious award Nipher was applauded for helping students develop strong decision-making skills, display good citizenship, acquire technological know-how, demonstrate self-confidence, participate in meaningful service learning activities, and above all, become active participants in academically rigorous classroom programs.

Nipher Middle School is a school with a tradition of excellence. At Nipher, we believe in a nuturing, rigorous learning community that emphasizes personal growth and service to others through diverse educational opportunities. We work each day to build a climate of belonging that helps to promote learning and citizenship.

We strive to provide every opportunity for maximum student achievement and to recognize and stimulate the special talents in all students.

The educational environment and the teaching strategies are designed to meet the goals and objectives of a strong curriculum.

Every effort is made to provide our children with a supportive, caring environment that develops self-esteem, self-motivation and a sense of responsibility.

Our major goal is to prepare students to become responsible citizens and take their places as productive members of our community. The embedded character education program at Nipher focuses on six traits that allow for the realization of this goal. They are: self-control, perseverance, empathy, respect, honesty, and responsibility.

We believe that education is a cooperative venture of home, school and community, and ultimately, we hope that each of our students can say “I BELONG AT NIPHER…”
