At Conkwright Middle School where excellence is a matter of pride and tradition, we believe in providing a safe, orderly and positive nurturing environment focused on high academic expectations in which it is the responsibility of all students and staff to consistently exhibit mutual respect, motivation, and self control in order to develop life long learners.

Conkwright Middle School, named after Superintendent William G. Conkwright, opened in 1968.  It began as a junior high school, and later converted to a middle school with the closure of Belmont Junior High and the construction of a new middle school.  Conkwright Middle is located in a small community adjacent to a large metropolitan city.  Clark County has a mixture of rural, suburban, and metropolitan areas.  The student population is a mixture of all three areas.  A magnet school for gifted and accelerated learners was established in 1995.  With this addition, the student population became uniquely diverse.  The students on the magnet team have the same teachers all three years of middle school.  As a result of the effectiveness of this teaming, all students at Conkwright now are involved in "looping."  The school has a structured school-wide discipline plan that includes a standardized dress code.  The faculty and staff strive to accomplish their vision of helping students reach the highest level of academic performance, creativity, and social development.  This is realized through the school's mission of excellence as a matter of pride and tradition.
