Welcome to William Guy (W.G.) Sanders Middle School, the Home of the Golden Tigers. Our theme for this year is “Empowering Leaders…One Tiger at a Time.” The meaning of empower is “to make someone stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life.” This year we strive to give students the ability to not only have a voice and share their thoughts and ideas, but to believe their voice can lead to positive change. Empowered learners are self-motivated, curious and willing to take risks in their learning process. They also have a growth mindset, seeing challenges as opportunities for growth and development, rather than obstacles to be overcome.

As always, our staff, with your help, is committed to teaching leadership and life skills to our students while creating a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader, and we all can make a lasting difference.

We look forward to assisting you in fulfilling your educational goals, and we welcome the opportunity to serve you. By working together, we will be able to reach the collective and individual goals that have been set for this year. It’s going to be a great year!
