Millburn Middle School is a community of learners, teachers, and parents who seek to
create opportunities for students to grow in every way. To be an effective institution of learning we accept the challenge to continually redefine ourselves in order to provide the knowledge, skills, tools, and values our students require to be successful learners and leaders in the 21st century. In addition to academic excellence, our school’s mission is to expose students to a variety of cultural, visual, and performing arts and also prepare students to be true learners and caring citizens.
