Bill Reed Middle School
Principal: Arnold Jahnke

Environment - Bill Reed Middle School (BRMS) is committed to providing the best possible educational circumstances for students. The shared goal is success for every child. This is achieved in a caring environment that provides educational options, diversity, superior facilities, and a multitude of extracurricular choices. Facilities include an award-winning media center, wireless laptop labs, a classy auditorium that seats 600, two gyms, a photography darkroom and individual lockers for every student.

LISA - The Loveland area Integrated School of the Arts (LISA) is one educational option for students at BRMS. We support the middle school component of the K-12 arts integration initiative. Since its beginning in the 2007-2008 school year, the program continues to expand in numbers and we have had requests from as far away as Virginia for visitation by schools in process of implementing a similar arts integration program. LISA students have opportunities to explore exciting nine-week visual and performing arts experiences not available anywhere else. Students also work with nationally and internationally known artists-in-residence who ignite their passion.

Core Knowledge - The Core Knowledge program for grades 6-8 is another educational option available to students. Since its beginning here in the 2007-2008 school year, enrollment has grown to over 300 students. Core Knowledge has a sequenced curriculum that is research-based in order to provide instruction on the most critical components of each content area to provide students success in school and life. Information about the Core Knowledge curriculum is available at www.coreknowledge.org.

Many options - Our school provides a multitude of activities that engage and empower students - clubs, student government, athletics, visual and performing arts, and academic challenge activities that meet the interest of any student - including Student Council, Odyssey of the Mind, drama/theatre, boys and girls basketball, Book Club, swimming and diving, Chess Club, cross country, MESA, LUC Club, photography, volleyball, "Artitude" Day, wrestling, Jazz Band, Spelling Bee, boys and girls track, Day of Writing Dangerously, and Peer Mediators/Welcome Warriors.

Pride Tribe - The Pride Tribe Academic Challenge Program at BRMS helps students be the best they can be. Any student can participate and be successful in this program, which has four levels of achievement. To reach the highest level, students must demonstrate that they have challenged themselves by completing at least three academic challenge activities throughout the year. Students achieving the highest level are recognized in a formal ceremony at the end of the school year. In the 2008-2009 school year, over 320 students achieved the initial level and 124 students achieved the highest level.
