Magnolia Intermediate School’s vision is one in which the staff, students and community work together to encourage responsibility, integrity and an enthusiasm for learning. We believe that the entire Magnolia Intermediate School staff must reach out to each student to ensure measurable academic achievement and growth in emotional maturity, physical well-being and social responsibility. In recognizing the individual needs of students, we believe we can best prepare the students for life after school by nurturing a strong value system, a productive work ethic and positive independent decision making skills.
