We challenge and guide our students to make responsible choices, to value respectful behavior, and to achieve academic success

Welcome to Wade Carpenter Middle School in Nogales, Arizona. We've earned a reputation for excellent teachers, a supportive community, and academic excellence. We serve sixth through eighth grades. We represent the growing Nogales Unified School District.

We take great pride in our dynamic school and in our vibrant community. We hope you enjoy our website. If we can help in any way, please call or stop by our school office.

A message from the Principal.

Next month is the final month of the year and it came real fast. We have several important activities going on in May so please make sure to plan and be with us for one of the year ending events.

We will start on May 2 with our Music Concert from Ms. Milner's class. The performance will take place at 6:00 p.m. in our school gymnasium. May 6 to 10 is Teacher Appreciation Week and we are extremely thankful for everything that our teachers do on a daily basis. Every week we appreciate our teachers and staff and are grateful for their hard work and dedication.

Make sure that your students also finish the year strong by preparing for their final exams. Wade Carpenter will have our Final Exams during the week of May 13 to 17. The 8 Grade Students will be taking the Civics Test for their Final Exams. Any 8 Grade Students that pass the Civics Test will be completing a requirement for High School. In addition to the Final Exams, all of our students will be taking the Achieve 3000 Post-Test in their English Language Arts classes. The Achieve 3000 Post-Test will inform every student of their reading level.

We will finish the year with the highlight of our 8 Grade Transition. The Transition Ceremony will take place at Nogales High School at Apache Stadium. We are truly excited and this is a moment all of our 8 Grade Students have been waiting for. Wade Carpenter will celebrate the Class of 2019 on May 22 at 6:00 p.m. We would love to see you at this special celebration.

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of our Wade Carpenter Middle School Family for your support during this school. Wade Carpenter is a special place and we want to wish you all a great summer and see you in August for the 2019-2020 school year.
