Greencastle Middle School

Greencastle Middle School, located at 400 Percy L. Julian Drive in Greencastle, Indiana, serves as a central hub for adolescent education within the Greencastle Community School Corporation. The school is named in honor of Percy L. Julian, the renowned research chemist and humanitarian who was a native of Montgomery, Alabama, but holds a deep historical connection to the region and the state’s academic legacy. The facility is designed to support students in grades 6 through 8, providing a transitional academic environment that bridges the gap between elementary education and the more rigorous requirements of Greencastle High School.

The school places a strong emphasis on fostering both academic growth and social-emotional development during these formative middle school years. Beyond the standard core curriculum, Greencastle Middle School offers a variety of extracurricular opportunities, including athletics, clubs, and arts programs, which are intended to encourage student engagement and community involvement. By focusing on a well-rounded educational experience, the institution aims to prepare its students to become responsible, productive citizens while maintaining the small-town, supportive community atmosphere for which the Greencastle area is known.
