Our Facility

    Our administrative offices and guidance suite are combined in the front area of the school. This allows for increased communication, efficiency and access for our students and parents.

The stage and ancillary rooms allow us to conduct not only musical performances, but drama and stage productions as well. Storage areas and dressing rooms highlight the production area. The performing arts center is certainly a cornerstone of Montford Middle School.
