(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My daughter finished 8th grade in 2009. She had a wonderful and positive experience here. Her teachers were great and she still keeps in touch with a couple of them. The principal, Mr. Gorman Brown is top notch, has an open door policy for everyone, and puts the children's needs first. My daughter was in the chorus, softball team, Men & Women of Distinction, National Junior Honor Society. She still wants to return to WMMS to visit teachers and staff!
