The mission of Halsted Middle School is to prepare our students for a competitive future by creating and maintaining an environment that ensures all students are intellectually active and experience a high level of academic achievement as measured by local and statewide assessments.  Students’ individual performance and growth will be measured and a comprehensive system of support will be used to ensure that all learning objectives are met.  

Moreover, we will provide a positive school learning environment which fosters confidence and independence in a safe and secure atmosphere.  Intervention systems will be positioned to ensure that we are meeting our students’ physical, emotional, and social needs through a variety of measures.
