News Just In

Through a grant generously provided by the Peter R. Marsh Foundation, the Wakefield Middle School Advanced Band and Orchestra performed three live concerts at local senior living communities this year. In addition to their performances, students had the unique opportunity to engage with and interview members of their audiences. This enriching experience proved deeply rewarding for the students, fostering a meaningful sense of community service. They are already eager to return next year! We extend our sincere gratitude to Haven Health Tucson and Catalina Post Acute Care and Rehabilitation Center for graciously hosting our students this year.

We were recognized as a 2026 Arizona School to WatchⓇ, a designation that highlights exemplary middle schools demonstrating academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity and strong organizational structures. Read more in the press release.

Congratulations to Mila, runner-up in the Pima County Transportation’s yearly Take Action Against Graffiti (TAAG) poster contest for ages 11-12!

Our library at Wakefield Middle School is a spacious and accessible hub where students feel welcome to explore and relax. Many choose to spend their lunch periods here enjoying cozy reading time, whether in a quiet chair or gathered with friends. With an abundant and ever-growing graphic novel section that is always in high demand, the library has become a favorite spot for both learning and leisure!
