• Lenape Middle School Points of Pride

    • On September 4, 1957 Lenape Middle School opened its doors to students across the entire school district.

     

    • On February 1, 2007 Lenape Middle School, Doylestown, Pennsylvania received official notification that it has received both state and national recognition as a School to Watch. The Don Eichhorn Schools to Watch Program is a partnership in Pennsylvania that includes the Pennsylvania Middle School Association, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Lehigh University, Gettysburg College, and Duquesne University. This partnership was developed through the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grade Reform. Lenape is one of three middle schools in Pennsylvania and approximately 100 nation wide that have received this recognition. The Forum seeks to improve student learning dramatically by advocating that schools provide strong academics, respond to students’ needs and interests, and ensure equal access to high quality classes. According to Nick Chubb, principal, “This recognition reflects on the commitment to our students and to the promotion of academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity, and organizational structure. The Schools to Watch recognition reflects on our entire school community – students, parents, and staff. Lenape will celebrate 50 years of service in the 2007-08 school year. This is a great way to celebrate those years and to kick off our anniversary.

     

    • An important point of pride begins with a commitment to students in the Lenape community. The entire staff of Lenape Middle School is recognized for their dedication to students. This dedication is reflected in a safe, caring and respectful culture that promotes high academic expectations and opportunity for “second chance learning” for all students. Lenape is rich in tradition – a tradition of staff members who share a passion and a responsibility for their students!

     

    • Lenape Middle School students continue to demonstrate an interest that extends beyond our schoolhouse. Service learning and charity projects provide an important learning experience for each of our grade level teams.
