Celebrating 57 years of excellence in academics and the arts, Colonial Middle School offers students a world-class education in a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility. Colonial offers Optional Programs in both Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) and Enriched Academics, helping students to cultivate their talents in the realms of creativity, the visual and performing arts, and academics. Students enrolled in the school’s CAPA Program gain exposure to cultural appreciation, broaden their creative abilities, develop performance skills, and combine academic excellence with superior instruction in the arts. Colonial’s CAPA students have a proven success record in local, regional, and international performance festivals, workshops, and competitions. Colonial students have the opportunity to travel all over the world to participate in these events, and in recent years, they have traveled to China, Italy, Germany, Austria, England, France, and Canada, as well as throughout the United States, including Hawaii. Students in Colonial’s Enriched Academics Program engage in challenging coursework in the areas of Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students may enroll in advanced classes in core subject areas, in addition to exploratory courses in Art, Band, Choir, General Music, Computer, Facing History and Ourselves, Spanish, Teen Living, Health, and Physical Education. Students wishing to get a head start on their high school education may enroll in Algebra I✦ and Spanish I✦ for high school credit. Physical Science is also taught to eighth grade students who qualify. Field trips and extracurricular activities help to create a well-rounded middle school experience for all Colonial Middle School students. Colonial has earned a well-deserved reputation for success in nurturing each student’s unique talents. Colonial’s Drama Program has produced many highly successful performers, including Deidra Shores, who was previously selected from among 40,000 applicants to become the winner of The Today Show’s national Kid Reporter Contest. In addition to being nurtured in academics and the arts, Colonial students are encouraged to be well rounded by developing positive character traits, becoming responsible citizens, and developing their athletic skills.

* Students must meet eligibility requirements to participate.

✦ These courses have prerequisites. Participation is dependent on grades from the previous school year and standardized achievement test results.

Our students had an incredible opportunity to participate in an amazing mentoring experience through Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS)!

Experiences like these remind our students that their potential is limitless and that there are people invested in their success. Through mentorship, meaningful conversations, and positive connections, our scholars are gaining the confidence, inspiration, and guidance needed to become tomorrow’s leaders.

A special thank you to MSCS and everyone who helped make this opportunity possible. When we invest in our young people today, we help shape a brighter tomorrow! ❤️📚

At Colonial Middle School, we believe protecting our students goes beyond the classroom! ❤️💙

This afternoon, we welcomed parents for an important workshop focused on the dangers of va**ng and the impact it can have on our young people. We are committed to educating our students, empowering our families, and working together to make our school a safer, healthier place for EVERY student!

A special THANK YOU to Ms. Destiny Fletcher of the Shelby County Health Department for sharing valuable information and resources with our families!

👏🏽 We also extend our appreciation to our outstanding Professional School Counselors, Ms. Tribune, Ms. Benard, and Ms. Clark, for organizing this meaningful event as the culmination of our Red Ribbon Week activities!

Our message is clear: Va**ng has no place in our school, and student health and safety are non-negotiable!

At Colonial, we’re not just raising awareness. We’re taking action, building partnerships, and standing together for our students!

🔴 One School. One Community. One Stand Against Va**ng!
