Mission Statement:
As members of the Harwich Middle School community, we seek to bridge the years between childhood and adolescence with programs structured to meet the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of all students. We strive to provide a sage environment that not only promotes self directed life long learning and excellence in academics, but also demonstrates concern, tolerance and respect for all.  Within  this  caring,  creative  community   all members move toward responsible citizenship in our diverse society.

With community support Harwich Middle School was completely renovated and an addition housing classrooms and an activity area constructed. The $10.6 million project was completed and opened in September 1990. The original facility was constructed in 1937 and served as Harwich High School and then Harwich Intermediate School until structural failure caused its closing in the early 1980's. The current middle school contains 495 students in grades five through eight. Each grade is housed in contiguous classrooms for academic instruction. This feature minimizes the time and volume of movement by students.
