Join the Workman Rising Community Project

At Workman Middle School, we’re united in the education and success of every student. For us, that means “We’re all in!” In the classroom, in the hallways, in the passageways between buildings, and in the courtyards at our school. In the way we teach. In the way we motivate. In the way we think.

That’s why we’re reaching out to our community. There are spaces and places at Workman Middle School that could be inspiring our students to strive higher and push harder. More importantly, we see this as an opportunity to transform our school and the young minds in it by showing them what community is all about, and that they deserve a top-quality facility in which to learn and grow.

It’s an inventive and creative idea to change our students’ world and world view for the better. It’s totally out of the box thinking, but we hope you agree that it’s totally doable.

We are asking for a few local companies and organizations to volunteer their time and services. We know it’s a big ask, but we need help from our community to enhance our school's learning environment so we can continue to uplift our students academically, technically and personally to become engaged citizens who are LOUD AND PROUD Jaguars.

Together, let's leave a positive and lasting mark on Workman Middle School.
