Mission & Vision
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our Mission
At Evergreen Middle School, we provide a safe, inclusive environment where students engage in an authentic, cultural, and inquiry-based exploration of the world in order to become agents of change.
Our Vision
We work collaboratively with all stakeholders to offer:

An inquiry-based exploration of Bushwick and the larger community in order to honor the culture and history of where our students live and to expose students to other communities and cultures
-
An advisory program that provides the social and emotional learning opportunities that students require in order to be their best selves, both socially and academically
-
Hands-on and project-based learning experiences grounded in promoting social justice and social awareness
- Opportunities for student voice, including: giving students choice in their academic tasks, instituting student cogens, creating various student councils, administering student surveys, inviting students to sit on leadership teams, student choice in clubs.
