Rupert. A. Nock Mission Statement:
In fulfilling the Mission of the Newburyport Public Schools, the Rupert A. Nock Middle School, an
authentic middle school, is committed to the intellectual, moral, physical, and social development
of every student.
Children in the eleven to fourteen age group have distinct educational and psychological needs which clearly identify them as a unique group. Our purpose as a middle school is to meet these unique educational and psychological needs, to ease the transition from childhood to adolescence, and to bridge the gap from the self-contained elementary school to the departmentalized high school.
We are committed to providing quality education in a caring community that ensures each individual student the opportunity to learn to the maximum of his or her potential.
