Welcome to Seneca Middle School

Seneca Middle School, located in the beautiful Golden Corner region of South Carolina, is a community of approximately 830 students in grades six through eight. Surrounded by pristine lakes and situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, our school is the most ethnically diverse middle school in the School District of Oconee County. We have three feeder elementary schools that are served by our school, one of which is a Title I school: Blue Ridge Elementary (Title I), Northside Elementary, and Ravenel Elementary Schools. Likewise, our middle school feeds Seneca High School in our district. We offer a progressive instructional program. All of our students receive 60-minutes of daily math,  ELA, science, and social studies instruction and 45 minutes of related arts instruction. Our school also offers programs such as Junior Beta Club, student government, athletics, advanced art, symphonic band, honors chorus, and orchestra. 

Students take a well-rounded curriculum that allows for the accumulation of high school Carnegie Unit credits in the areas of Algebra I, English I Honors and keyboarding/computer technology. Our school has preeminent fine arts programs (Art, Chorus, Band and Orchestra) that have received numerous accolades and awards and that feed seamlessly into the corresponding programs at Seneca High. Each year we also typically have a handful of students who have been chosen to attend the South Carolina Governor's School of the Arts summer programs in dance, visual and performing arts. Academically, we routinely have a number of students who qualify as South Carolina Junior Scholars and who perform well in various essay contests, including a recent 3rd place nationally for a 7th grader.
