The staff, parents, and students at Martha Brown Middle School will continue to work as a team to develop a friendly, nurturing environment which fosters positive self-esteem, mutual respect, and responsibility. While recognizing individual learner styles, we will offer diverse opportunities which will promote academic, physical, social, and emotional growth. Within these transitional years, we will endeavor to develop critical thinkers, whose spirit of inquiry will form the basis for a lifelong love of learning as contributing members of society.

In 1995 and 2010, the school had major renovations and now includes 34 classrooms, a library media center, 2 art rooms, 2 music rooms, 3 instrumental music lesson rooms, 2 large ensemble rehearsal rooms, auditorium, 3 technology rooms, 3 home & career rooms, 3 gym areas, fitness center, 2 climbing walls, locker rooms, 3 classrooms designated for remedial math and reading, 3 resource rooms, 3 computer labs, 3 self-contained classrooms, health and attendance office, main office area, counseling suite including private offices for three counselors, school psychologist, school social worker, strategic learning specialist, teachers' work room, 2 dining rooms, food court serving area, and athletic fields.
