YMS principal Mike Radebaugh is presented with his "STEAM team" shirt by some Yerger students. "STEAM Team" not only displays the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) that Yerger has become; but more importantly the TEAM we have always been...and will continue to be.


Yerger Middle School art teacher Mrs. Alexis Anderson reviews her students on dimensional terms in art. Anderson breaks down the vocabulary in student friendly terms. With this breakdown Anderson layers on more understanding which will add more character to each art assignment.




YMS teacher Nancy Bradford prepares her 7th graders to take on challenging tasks in comprehending social studies, geography, history, current events and the connection they hold in present times.




Yerger Middle School STAR Academy students are underway experiencing learning through the many wonders of experimenting in science. Mrs. Deadra Simington is facilitating her students through hands-on exploration of balance and weight. Who says learning can't be fun?








Shirts, shirts, shirts!!!









Among the fun activities and tons of t-shirts, Yerger students demonstrate and strengthen many skills. Leadership, teamwork, collaboration, mathematics, time management, computer skills, communication, and creativity.





STAR Academy social studies teacher Tony Anderson works with his 8th grade students on new vocabulary and details of the curriculum to enlighten their understanding. Through questioning, Mr. Anderson challenges his students to see history in a new light.

Yerger Middle EAST students enjoy learning Cricut Design Space software. Students were able to individually design and make their personal EAST shirt. As students' knowledge began to grow, natural leaders emerged to help other students along this designing journey.
