Middle Level Matters
MEMSPA proudly supports middle level leaders serving grades 4 - 8.
Over the years, MEMSPA has experienced an increase in middle level presence, representation, and voice. Through increased focus on middle level (4th-8th grade) specific professional development, MEMSPA works hard to provide relevant networking and learning opportunities for middle level principals, assistant principals, deans, and aspiring leaders. Opportunities include middle level specific topics at our annual events, networking opportunities, and relevant middle level specific content in MEMSPA weekly newsletters. Most of our 14 regions have a middle level chair for the region to better support middle level members in their area. We hope that you will consider joining our initiative to grow as leaders of the state’s middle level. Together we are better!
