Fairfax Mission

The Fairfax Junior High School students, parents, staff, and community cooperatively provide a safe, child-centered environment that builds self-esteem, self-discipline, and the essential skills for life-long learning.  Students are encouraged to set and achieve high standards and teachers work together to provide a quality education for all students.  The goal of curriculum and instruction is to enable each student to acquire the academic, social, and emotional skills necessary to compete successfully at higher academic levels and to exercise their rights and responsibilities of citizenship.  At Fairfax, we empower students to become intrinsically motivated learners, critical thinkers, and real-world problem solvers.  We encourage our students to collaboratively interact with peers, staff, and parents to make our school and community a better place.  Our students show pride and learn to SOAR TO SUCCESS by showing respect, being on task, acting responsibly, and reaching for their personal best.
