PEER TUTORING The Center School logo symbolizes our philosophy of extending a helping hand and the mutual benefit of giving and receiving. This spirit is reflected in the Peer Tutoring Program which provides an opportunity for students to work one-to-one with their peers. A student may provide academic as well as social support in a classroom setting. Students are paired based on strengths and weaknesses as well as complementary personalities. The tutoring experience enriches both students.

Assemblies, Awards, D.A.R.E., ETC
Many programs are provided that focus on increasing general information, becoming environmentally aware, developing an appreciation for the arts, improving self-esteem, fostering achievement, nurturing good citizenship, and building social skills. Exposure to cultural activities supports a well-rounded education while programs such as D.A.R.E. enhance making good peer and personal choices in the community. Holiday parties, award ceremonies, traveling shows, and frequent rewards combine to make school a positive, motivating experience.
Middle School Student Council
Activities that generate school spirit and benefit the community are the focus of the student council which is comprised of students elected by their peers to positions of leadership. The council sells lunch products to students which simultaneously benefits students while funding service activities. They have organized efforts such as a coat drive for the needy, collecting food for a soup kitchen, and improving school grounds by planting flowers. The Center School Scoop, a periodical produced by these students, features current events in all classes, articles on students' particular interests, and literary efforts. Examples of school spirit activities enjoyed by all have included hat day, shirt day (shirts with logos of favorite sports team), and a student/faculty volleyball game.
