This year’s 5th-grade students will enter Johnson County Middle School in August 2026. Starting middle school in 6th grade gives them more time to build lasting relationships, routines, and leadership skills in a consistent environment.
As the 2025–2026 school year begins, our 5th graders are preparing for a big step. In one year, they will begin middle school at Johnson County Middle School, where they’ll grow together as Golden Eagles from grades 6 through 8.
Happy Labor Day Weekend, Golden Eagles!
No school Monday, September 1st. Enjoy your well-deserved break!
