Willowick Middle School students celebrated the season of growth and new beginnings by participating in our Media Centers Spring Rock Painting activity! Students purchased up to two rocks for five PBIS points each and decorated them with bright colors, uplifting messages, or spring-inspired designs. Once finished, students are encouraged to share their creations with a friend or place them around the community to spread a little sunshine and kindness.

Incoming sixth graders and their families got a glimpse of life at Willowick Middle School during the recent Experience Night. Designed to provide an introduction to the school, families were able to hear the administrators and guidance counselors provide an overview of the school, take a tour, and stop by tables to learn about programming and clubs.

Whether you are interested in sports, music, drama or extracurricular activities such as game clubs, there is something for everyone at Willowick Middle School!

We look forward to seeing our district's fifth graders as sixth graders in the fall!

Willowick Ranger Remix Show Choir

An exciting new music group is filling the halls with beautiful music at Willowick Middle School!

According to Director Rachel Garvin, the Willowick Middle Show Choir, "Ranger Remix," is made up of 18 students in grades 6-8. These students meet after school once a week from 3:15 -5:00 p.m. to rehearse.

In show choir, students learn and prepare pop/modern songs for performances where the students are not only singing, but also dancing. Many of these students started this group with absolutely no dance experience, but have since become much more comfortable in their dance abilities.

Students in this group have worked on many performance skills such as modern singing techniques, stage presence, and choreography. They have put brought their Portrait of a Graduate skills to life as they demonstrate resiliency, perseverance, and hard work to make their group successful. 

The Eastlake North High School music department will be excited to have these students continue with their music in high school.

Dontae Jones, Meteorologist, WJW-TV  Fox 8, visited with seventh graders at Willowick Middle School. He was impressed with the students' knowledge of weather systems, terminology and instruments. This was a great follow-up to their lessons. We appreciate his support of the school and the sharing of his time with our students.

Students from Willowick Middle School are teaming up with younger learners at Royalview to design and build adapted equipment that supports a wide range of physical and learning needs. Through hands-on problem-solving and collaboration, the middle schoolers are using creativity, empathy, and STEM skills to develop tools that help Royalview students participate more fully in classroom and recreational activities. The project not only promotes inclusion but also gives both groups of students a meaningful, real-world experience in making a positive impact on their school community.
