Our goal is to enable each learner to acquire 21st century skills and knowledge, develop strong work habits and a healthy lifestyle, become independent thinkers, gain an appreciation of the arts and a proficiency in technology. Our teachers shall collaborate with each other and professionally develop to meet the challenges of an academically evolving and challenging environment. We will promote a climate that fosters tolerance, respect, integrity and which leads students on a path to become lifelong learners and good citizens.
This statement conveys the principles that have granted RMG-MSHS successes and accomplishments in many areas. Our New York State evaluative test results have shown academic excellence in all areas, thus being named a New York State Reward School from 2014 to 2018 and a New York State Recognition School in 2019 and 2020. This success culminated in RMG-MSHS being named a 2021 National Blue-Ribbon School as an Exemplary High Performing school. In addition to evaluative awards, our staff maintains a high focus on supporting the whole child, especially in regards to their social and emotional development and to the caveats within the New York State Dignity for All Students Act. Our comprehensive academic and extra-curricular program builds to what is perhaps our most significant for all at RMG-MSHS; the feeling of belonging no matter who you are or what you believe in. Students are involved, they set goals, they work, and yes, they sometimes struggle, but all-in-all they are supported to arrive at a place where they feel they are truly understood, recognized, accepted, and given the tools necessary for college and career readiness. Once a Mustang…Always a Mustang!
