Welcome to the Thunderbird Family!
At Mitchell Senior, we believe that every student holds untapped potential—just waiting to be
discovered, nurtured, and mined. This year, we proudly embrace the theme "Mine Potential,"
reflecting our commitment to helping students uncover their strengths, sharpen their skills,
and become the best version of themselves.
It is a privilege to serve the incredible students, staff, families, and community of Mitchell
Senior. I am passionate about education and lifelong learning, and my vision continues to focus
on working collaboratively with our amazing staff to provide high-quality instruction and
positive leadership while fostering a growth mindset learning environment for all.
Mitchell Senior is deeply committed to helping our students achieve their academic, social,
emotional, and physical potential in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing setting. Our tradition of
excellence is paired with innovation, empowering students to lead in an ever-changing world.
Through our FLIGHTS and LAUNCH programs, all students engage in leadership development,
digital citizenship, and character education built around the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Elective opportunities such as STEAM, Art, Culinary Arts/Hospitality, and Band ensure a
well-rounded middle school experience. We also offer extracurricular activities to foster
connections, build school pride, and create lifelong memories.
Mitchell Senior continues to lead with empathy and intention through restorative practices
centered on respect, responsibility, and relationships. These foundational values support the
positive culture and climate that define our school.
Our commitment to learning doesn’t stop with students—our teaching and support staff are
equally dedicated to professional growth and excellence. Through collaboration, continuous
reflection, and shared leadership, we ensure that all students learn at high levels.
When we work together—students, staff, and families—we create a powerful support system
where success is not just possible, it’s expected. Follow us on Facebook and ParentSquare to
stay connected with what’s happening at Mitchell Senior.
Let’s dig deep, dream big, and Mine Potential—together.
Go Thunderbirds!
