Phillips Middle School PTSA works to support the <br /> students, teachers, administration, and staff of the school. It raises <br /> money from parents and the community to provide financial support <br /> for teacher discretionary funds, special events, academic clubs, <br /> enrichment activities, teacher appreciation events, community <br /> building, and cultural arts programming. <br /> Believing that exposure to the arts enhances every student's <br /> education, the Phillips Middle School PTSA promotes the cultural arts <br /> in education by bringing a variety of professional artists to perform at <br /> our school. Most years, the PTSA provides funding for four <br /> performances at the school: one performance that is attended by all <br /> students and one performance for each of the three grades at the <br /> school (for a total of four performances per year). <br /> School Population (as of May 2019) <br /> Total number of students in grades 6-8: 664 <br /> Students identifying themselves as Asian: 134 (201/6) <br /> Students identifying themselves as African American: 93 (140/6) <br /> Students identifying themselves as White: 315 (470/6) <br /> Students identifying themselves as Hispanic/Latino: 80 (121/6) <br /> Students identifying themselves as Bi- or Multi-racial: 41 (60/6) <br /> Students identifying themselves as Native American: 1 (<1%) <br /> Students identified as Exceptional Children: 78 (120/6) <br /> The student population consists of approximately 45%female and <br /> 55% male, and 170 students qualify for free or reduced lunch (270/6). <br /> PTSA Board of Directors (2018-2019) <br /> President - Jen Clark <br /> VP - Beth Grimes <br /> Treasurer - Kuwadee Yung <br /> Secretary - Christina Pomykal <br /> Phillips Middle School Administration and Arts Staff <br /> Principal - Drew Ware <br /> Assistant Principal - Tiffany Cheshire <br /> Band Director - Ashley Sample <br /> Orchestra Director - Anne Daaleman <br /> Choral Director - Desiree Davis-Omburn <br /> NBPTS Visual Arts Teacher - Angela Greene <br />
