Walton County is preparing for the AdvancEd visit in the Spring. AdvancED is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that accredits primary and secondary schools. We are in the final stages of approving our mission and vision statements, if you have any input or questions, please direct those questions to Julie Benefield or Wendy Little. We believe the following Mission Statement and Vision Statement best represent YMS.

Mission: (Why we do what we do!)

Youth Middle School is dedicated to creating a safe learning environment of excellence where Young Minds Succeed.

Vision: (Where we see our students in the future.)

Youth Middle School in partnerships with all stakeholders will prepare students to become productive citizens who are college and career ready.
