Our School Philosophy and Mission Statement

The Friedman Middle School staff believes in a curriculum and school environment that encourages good citizenship and recognizes the dignity of the individual and emphasizes the responsibility of the individual to him/herself and to society. We recognize the school's responsibility to prepare the student to successfully contribute to a democratic society, and to value contribution, leadership and self-sufficiency in today's world.

The Taunton Public School system is committed to the education of the whole child. We view education as a lifelong process based upon the Massachusetts Common Core of Learning. Our mission is to set high standards for academic excellence for every student using innovative and inclusive programs which ensure that students of varying learning styles and achievement levels have access to meaningful curriculum. Our goal is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to become articulate, productive, creative, and responsible citizens.
