Welcome to the Home of the Vikings!

Our Vision:

At Brentwood Middle School, we strive to cultivate and empower students to become engaged learners and citizens who grow and excel in character, academics, and relationships.

Our Mission:

Brentwood Middle School is a safe and supportive community where all stakeholders work together to provide an exemplary educational experience. We engage, challenge, support and empower all students to build a foundation for lifelong success.

We are a PBIS school that focuses on positively reinforcing students for making good choices and having good behavior.

We expect students to be respectful of all adults, students and school property; responsible in all daily activities; and to take pride in all endeavors.

Our school opened in August 1972, with 850 students, and was named Northside Junior High School, with grades 7 – 9. The student population over the next twenty years grew to over 1000. In 1982, the ninth grade became part of the new Brentwood High School, and we became a middle school with grades 7 – 8; later grade six was added. Our enrollment increased to over 900 students. With the opening of two additional middle schools in the northern part of the county, our enrollment averaged 600 students. For the 2002 – 2003 school year, a new addition was added to our building to accommodate an increase of approximately 300 students due to rezoning. For the school year 2021-2022, our enrollment is approximately 1,300 students.

Brentwood Middle School has a serious commitment to addressing the needs of adolescents as they grow through the “middle years”.  A schoolwide implementation of the team concept and interdisciplinary curriculum allows our highly professional staff to educate our students toward realizing their fullest potential and becoming responsible citizens.
