About

Welcome to Russell STEM Middle School
Home of the Timberwolves

Supporting the development of middle school learners within a safe, caring community is our goal at Russell STEM Middle School.  Middle school is an exciting new chapter for students, and we work hard to make sure that each student feels a sense of belonging and connection to their teachers and peers so that they can reach their highest academic potential.

Coming together as a community through service and spirit is important to us at RMS!  Our students have many opportunities to lead in these endeavors, such as participating in our Student Leadership Team or Volunteer Club.  Caring for each other and using our gifts and talents to care for our larger community is a source of pride for our school.

Learning through collaboration, technology, and hands-on experiences all help our students to develop the skills that they will need to be successful in high school and beyond. As a STEM school, the MPS STEM Pillars of Excellence guide our work, and our students have numerous opportunities to develop their skills based on their own unique interests and talents.  In addition to core classes that stretch students academically, our students benefit from numerous extension opportunities, such as High Ability Learner activities, field trips, guest speakers, and challenging elective and exploratory classes, including numerous STEM electives that are unique to our school. 

Growing individual skills and talents while having the opportunity to explore new interests is a fun and important part of middle school. At Russell, students can participate in a wide variety of extracurricular clubs, music programs, and athletics.  Our school’s strong and varied extracurricular programming not only gives students the opportunity to shine, but it also gives them an important place to connect and develop relationships with new friends and caring teachers.

I hope that you and your child have a magnificent experience at Russell Middle School during the very special years of young adolescence! If you would like more information about attendance at RMS, please contact the main office at 402-715-8500.
