Vision

Elkridge Landing Middle School is a place where students, staff, parents, and community members work together to foster a friendly, supportive, and engaging environment in which students are inspired and empowered to excel.

Mission

  • Students will accept responsibility for their own continuous improvement.
  • Staff will implement the best available instructional practices and resources in their classrooms.
  • Parents and community members will partner with school staff to support school improvement initiatives.   

HCPSS Goals

Each child, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, disability or socio-economic status, will meet the rigorous performance standards that have been established. All diploma-bound students will perform on or above grade level in all measured content areas. Each school will provide a safe, and nurturing school environment that values diversity and commonality.
