James C. Wright Middle School James C . Wright Middle School is one out of three lottery schools in MMSD What began as Madison Middle School 2000, emerged into James C.

Wright Middle School due to the active participation, desires and concerns of area residents. Dozens of people submitted a request to the Madison School Board to name the new school after the late Reverend James Colemon Wright of Mount Zion Baptist Church. What makes Wright unique is its charter agreement with the School Board. The major points of Wright’s Charter are as follows:

Innovative, flexible approaches to teaching and learning with appropriate integration of technology;

An environment characterized by challenge, support, choice, and respect;

Student learning with a social action and citizenship focus;

A staff that is committed to providing a developmentally appropriate and multicultural curriculum; and

A staff commitment to on-going professional development.
