The
special education department at Haggard Middle School is dedicated
to serving students with various disabilities. The department provides
a wide continuum of services for students with mild disabilities to
those who have more significant disabilities. Each child is given
individual consideration and support with whatever degree of services
that they require to be successful. The department strives to preserve
a child's dignity as well as confidentially which is treating each
child and family member with consideration and sensitivity. The mission
statement of Haggard Middle School of "meet me where I am and
develop the skills to take me places I have yet to go: is the cornerstone
of the department's purpose and philosophy.
