Welcome to Chariton Middle School. We are located at 1300 N 16th St. Chariton Iowa. The middle school serves approximately 300 students in grades sixth through eighth from Chariton and surrounding communities.
Chariton Middle School staff believe in successful learning for all students. Our staff is committed to a high quality education through rigorous, standards-based core classes. We offer additional supports for students in special education, talented and gifted, as well as English as a Second Language. No matter the need, we pride ourselves in finding unique ways to meet the needs of all our students.
Chariton Middle School focuses on educating the whole child. We use the PRIDE acronym to focus on developing our core values of perseverance, respect, integrity, dependability, and effort. In order to teach students about these core values, our school has implemented PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) through various activities throughout the year. We believe instilling these core values will help our students show their Charger Pride in their academics, extracurricular activities, and in the community.
Parents/guardians are integral in their student’s education. At CMS, we encourage teachers and parents to be one team who work together for the success of our students. This happens through open lines of communication and collaboration.
We look forward to an AMAZING year!
Thank you,
Mr. Gary Benda
Chariton Middle School Principal
