History

Peachtree Middle School was originally Peachtree High School (established 1968). After the high school was closed at the end of the 1986/87 academic year, a new middle school was opened to accommodate the population influx. The charter for the school was ratified by the school population in 2004, and renewed in 2007. After many years in the outdated building, construction began on a new building at a different location on the campus. Construction on the building began before the 2005-2006 school year. Construction ended just before the start of the 2007-2008 school year. The new building includes 3 stories, the top belonging to 8th graders, the middle to 7th, and the basement to 6th graders. On the ground floor, the band room, orchestra room, cafeteria, gym, foreign language rooms, and offices accompany the 7th grade classrooms.

Mission statement

Peachtree Middle School encourages intellectual curiosity, student responsibility, respect for self and others, and has a commitment to the future by including innovative teaching strategies and techniques as well as high standards in our curriculum in order that our children become the very best. Peachtree embraces a diverse population, and an attitude of teamwork is fostered.
