The Williamson County Schools in conjunction with Nashville State Technical Community College opened the doors to Williamson County Middle College High School in 1998.  In January 2005, the school moved to a temporary location before re-locating in March 2005 at its new permanent campus at 108 Everbright Avenue in Franklin.  Middle College High School is a collaborative, yet innovative program designed to meet the needs of Williamson County students who possess academic potential, but are searching for a new environment to successfully complete high school.

            Middle College, a school of choice for Williamson County students grades 10 - 12, is a “school of opportunity” for students who show potential for success and may or may not have flourished in traditional high school classrooms.  Students come to Middle College for various reasons unique to their individual experiences.  Our students continue to grow academically and socially due to a smaller student body and the nurturing but challenging atmosphere provided to all of our students.

            Middle College places students within a unique setting to motivate them to finish high school and set goals for attending college.  MCHS provides a guidance-based approach to all school experiences with a heavy emphasis upon emulating adults around them and bridging the gap between high school and college through its dual enrollment program; eventually preparing students for higher education and the world of work.  Middle College offers a flexible schedule with the possibility of high school night classes.  At MCHS, we understand that to prepare students for college and the real world, we must increase the use of technology in the classroom.  We strive to integrate technology into our entire curriculum.   Each student will complete a combination academic and service learning project that begins when they enroll into MCHS and will be completed by the end of their senior year which will exhibit the skills they have obtained during their enrollment at Middle College.

            Every staff member is a mentor, advisor, and student advocate whose daily priority is to establish solid caring relationships between teachers, students, and peer groups to accept them as individuals.  Therefore, this creates a sense of family which enhances the school environment.  Middle College is a place to get a “fresh start” in high school and to move toward the successful journey to the future.
