At Rushing Middle School, we believe kindness, respect, and inclusion make our school community stronger! 🦖💜
Whether students are collaborating on a project, helping a classmate, or learning from one another, every interaction is an opportunity to build connections and create a culture where everyone feels valued and included.
✨ Choose kindness. Include others. Stand up for one another.
Together, we can make Rushing a place where every Raptor feels safe, supported, and accepted. 💜



Small acts can make a BIG difference!
Our Rushing Hope Squad members recently chalked the walk in support of Bus Safety Week, spreading positive messages and showing appreciation for our bus drivers who work hard every day to help keep our Raptors safe! 🚌💜
We are proud of our Raptors for reminding us that making a difference doesn't always require a grand gesture. Sometimes, it's as simple as sharing a kind message, looking out for others, or taking a moment to show appreciation for those who make a difference in our lives.
✨ Be the reason someone smiles. Be the difference someone needs.

October is National Principals Month, and we couldn’t let it pass without celebrating the person who makes Rushing Middle School such a special place to learn, work, and grow!
Mr. McDonnell leads with heart, humor, and a genuine belief in people. He has created a culture where staff feel supported, students feel seen, and everyone is encouraged to bring their best each day.
And then there’s his sense of humor and that unmistakable laugh! 😂 Whether he’s cracking a joke, finding the funny in a hectic day, or laughing right along with the rest of us, he has a way of bringing some lightness to even the busiest moments.
He’s the kind of leader who is always willing to listen, jump in, celebrate the wins, and help us navigate the challenges. He makes people feel welcomed, valued, and encouraged!
We are so grateful for the energy, encouragement, humor, and heart he brings to our campus every single day. 💜
Help us give a BIG RAPTOR ROAR 🦖👏 for our principal, Mr. McDonnell!
Thank you for making Rushing a place where we learn, grow, laugh, and do it together!
