I welcome you to our new website. The website went live June 1, 2008 and we are excited about its potential to serve as a tool for the education of our students, for communication, and for professional development for our staff and other schools from around the state/country.

At Clackamas Middle College, we are dedicated to provide the best possible education to our students, to be accountable to our students, parents, community, district and state. We want to also be transparent to our community so that everyone can see the wonderful things we are doing in the world of education.
Now that CMC has been in operation for four years, the foundation to excellence has been built. In these four years, we have worked very hard to create a partnership with Clackamas Community College and with our own district. Clackamas Middle College has also worked hard in its first four years to become an accredited program through the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. We want all of those involved in our program to be able to say that CMC has been a innovative program that effects its students in a way that is different than other comprehensive high schools. During the 2007-2008 school year, we have worked hard to improve our curriculum and instruction so that our students are able to make the transition to college. We also have worked hard to improve communications with everyone involved in our program. It hasn't always been easy and we still have work to do, but we have made great strides in making our program one of the best college transition programs in the country.
I feel we are constantly improving our craft of helping students to make the jump from high school to the real world. Now that most of our difficult times of starting a school and setting up a foundation are in the past, we plan to spread our ideas, and best practices to other educational settings in and around the state and to the rest of the nation.
We plan on offering an Educational Symposium in October that helps other schools understand and master our best practices. Through this sharing, we hope others can appreciate and take advantage of the wonderful experiences in education which our school has taken. Information about the symposium and our dissemination is located on our website under the Dissemination Link.
I want to take an opportunity to thank all of the parents, students, community members, district members, state education leaders and community college partners in working to make our school one-of-a-kind. The future potential of this school is unlimited and I hope that you take the time to learn about our program on this website and see that Clackamas Middle College is a program that is always "Connecting Change and Choice Through Opportunity!"
If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call or drop us a line.
Sincerely,
Brian Sien
