Dear Colleague,
Thank you for your interest in the North Carolina Middle School Association. The Association offers both professional resources and support for middle level advocates. You are invited to utilize the Association as a means to provide the very best for this unique age group of students.

The NCMSA offers several publications throughout the year. Our online Journal will keep you up to date on current programs and practices. Our monographs will take you more in-depth on important topics that will impact your classroom and school.

There is no question that education has its "ups and downs" these days, and that education for early adolescents requires a special effort. The North Carolina Middle School Association is the one organization that unites us, no matter what our roles or how our school is organized, in our dedication to the development and overall well-being of your adolescents. Your participation and the participation of your organization is essential. Middle level professionals benefit from the contributions of its members. We all know, however, that the real winners are the kids!

Sincerely,
Jodi Weatherman, President
