SCDS middle school teachers embody an excitement for teaching and are committed to supporting the unique needs of early adolescents, including cognitive and social-emotional development. The SCDS Humanities Department's mission is to cultivate engaged learners who understand and embrace the complexity of the human experience through close examination of literature, history, and current events.
