A Tradition of Excellence
Since it opened in 1980, Paducah Middle School has united students in the "Tornado" spirit -- in classroom and extracurricular activities.
To ease the transition from elementary school, sixth-graders are grouped in teams with fewer teachers and class changes. Seventh and eighth grades are also organized by teams for more flexibility in program planning of cross-curricular activities.
We offer a variety of pre-AP services for gifted students. They include honors classes, the Duke Talent Identification Program and extracurricular Governor's Cup, Math Counts and Odyssey of the Mind academic competitions.
Four "Encore" classes are offered on a nine-week rotation: art, physical education, drama, and music.

Paducah Middle Boys Soccer Completes Perfect Season with Region Championship |
|
The Paducah Middle boys soccer team finished a perfect 14-0 season with a 3-1 victory over Mayfield in the regional championship held at Graves County High School on May 10. This is a feat that has only been accomplished by one other PMS soccer team.
The team finishes the season having scored 92 goals, for an average of 6.8 per game, while allowing 5, for an average of .36 per game.
"This is a very tight knit group on and off the field," said Head Coach Austin Davis. "They have played together for a long time, and it shows. I couldn't be more proud of these boys and they are definitely deserving of their accomplishments. They play as one unit, not as individuals. That is what it takes to be successful in this game."
