Principal, Diane Crook-NicholsPrincipal’s Message

 

Dear Families,

As we move into the second quarter, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible progress our students have made so far this year. The first quarter was filled with learning, growth, and community-building, and I am proud of the dedication shown by our students, teachers, and families.

This quarter, we will continue to focus on academic excellence and character development. Our goal is to ensure every student feels supported and challenged as they work toward mastering grade-level standards. Remember, learning is a journey, and we are committed to providing the tools and encouragement needed for success.

Please stay connected by checking our school website and newsletters for updates on upcoming events, family engagement opportunities, and ways you can partner with us to make this quarter a great one.

Thank you for your continued support and for being an essential part of our school community. Together, we will make this quarter outstanding!

Warm regards,

Diane Crook-Nichols Principal

    Each one of our public schools has a full-time sworn law enforcement officer serving as a School Resource Officer on campus every day.

  • Outstanding Certified Educators and Staff

    Our students have highly-qualified, certified teachers who provide engaging, relevant, and rigorous instruction.

  • Rigorous Curriculum & Student Support

    We offer a rigorous curriculum and systems of support, complete with college preparatory and career and technical education paths to meet the needs of every student

  • Acceleration Opportunities Abound

    Students have the opportunity to take high school credit courses in middle school and to earn college/postsecondary credit at no cost to parents while still in high school.

Testimonials

Picture with kids outside

Jacqueline Cruz, Mother of Lennon Cruz.

Lennon has been a part of the MAES family since he was 3 years old and is in 2nd grade now. He's grown leaps and bounds socially/emotionally. When I walk the halls as a volunteer, I love that many staff members know him by name. Being involved with PTO and SAC, I’ve learned the more you put into the school community, the more connected you feel. We’ve also been blessed with caring teachers such as Mrs. Smith, Mrs. McWhorter, and Mrs. Taylor, made such a difference in Lennon’s life. Lennon has grown so much—not just in academics, but in confidence and social skills. He's learned how to express himself, build friendships, and problem-solve in ways that will go far beyond the classroom. I recommend MAES because it’s more than just a school—it’s a community. The staff is invested in every child, families are welcoming, and opportunities for involvement make it easy to feel like you're of something bigger. It’s a place where children are supported, challenged, and truly cared for.
