Our school is organized into teams of students and teachers to provide a nurturing environment and exciting opportunities for learning and personal growth. We offer a challenging and integrated program that strongly supports our students’ academic, physical, social and emotional development.

We are a model middle school that serves approximately 800 students in the communities of Tinley Park, Oak Forest and Orland Park. This is a busy place where students actively engage in a wide variety of learning activities and strive for excellence.

We offer numerous extracurricular activities including: Student Council, competitive and intramural sports, yearbook, newspaper, peer mediation, and clubs for science, math, declamation, French, Spanish, chess, scrabble and APBA baseball. You may have seen our award-winning band at local parades, our choir performing at a local senior citizen residence, our students volunteering at local events, or our students’ work on display in the community. Our school community benefits greatly by the partnerships we have established with parents and community members and institutions. We know that Central Middle School is central to the lives of our students, families and communities
