BETTER TEACHERS MAKE BETTER STUDENTS
Our innovative approaches to the classroom experience make learning fun and bring out the best in students.
We Are Stronger Together
The pre-adolescent years are exciting years for young people as they prepare for high school and grow beyond the structure of the elementary school. It can also be a trying time for students and parents because of the many new and exciting changes in their lives. We're here to help students on that journey academically, developmentally, and emotionally. Our solid support structure of trusted adults and social framework that encourages students to learn not only from their teachers, but from each other contributes to our vibrant, positive, unstoppable community.

What Aurora Hills Parents Say
Aurora Hills is a Great School
There are so many positive things happening at Aurora Hills Middle School. The building feels new and fresh and so does the attitude of the school Leadership. There is just a lot of positive energy. There are new ideas and approaches to building the school community. The kids are being offered many interesting options for classes. Things like STEM offerings, art classes and an AMAZING music program are available. There are afterschool activities available, Compass, sports, and homework help. The size of the student population is also a plus, it is a big school but not so big that kids get “lost” in the numbers. I can see how committed the teachers and staff are to the kids. It’s a place where you can tell that each child and each family matters. I’m glad that this is our neighborhood school.
