Our Two Academies and TLC magnet program students students had an unforgettable experience on their trip to Colonial Williamsburg!

From walking through history and exploring life in colonial America to engaging in hands-on learning experiences, our students gained so much knowledge.  However, we all know what happens when there’s all work and no play so to ensure there was no boredom on this trip they also got to enjoy a little mini golf as well as spent their last day at Busch Gardens.

Beyond the history lessons, this 3 day trip gave students the opportunity to build stronger friendships, create lasting memories, and grow together as a community.

We are so proud of the way they represented our school through their curiosity, kindness, and enthusiasm throughout the trip.

What an amazing experience for everyone involved!

Month of the Military Child: Easing school transitions for military students 04/30/2026

At Dent Middle School, we appreciate the military families we have the honor of welcoming into our community each year. Their resilience, sacrifice, and commitment does not go unnoticed, and we are grateful to support and learn from them.

Take a look at this wonderful package from WIS10 News that highlights the strength of our S2S program, along with the outstanding leadership of two of our TWO Academies students, Kyrie Hall and Piper Ohlman. Their dedication and initiative truly reflect the spirit of Dent Middle and the values we strive to uphold every day.

Thank you to our military families for being such an important part of our school community

Month of the Military Child: Easing school transitions for military students Moving to a new school can be challenging for any student. For military children, it’s something they experience again and again.
