The Fossum Learning Community of students, parents and staff will collaborate to provide a positive, rigorous, student-centered environment, while promoting excellence in education; allowing for risk-taking and achievement at the highest levels. Our goal is the creation of a passionately inquisitive, life-long learner who becomes a productive member of his own community and the ever-changing global society, thereby creating a more peaceful, caring world.

The vision of Michael E. Fossum Middle School is to develop a diverse community that promotes and encourages educational excellence in a safe, nurturing environment to empower successfully, independent, and goal-oriented individuals who strive for life-long learning.
