INTRODUCING DR. DARRELL MCDOWELL
Dr. Darrell McDowell
Seneca Middle School will have a new face on the administrative team this year.  Dr. Darrell McDowell takes the helm as SMS principal as his latest position in a long and accomplished career in education.  He holds a bachelor’s degree from Appalachian State University, and received both a master’s degree in Administration and a doctorate degree in Educational Leadership from Western Carolina University. His most recent position was as the principal at Lavonia Elementary School in Franklin County, Georgia. He has thirty-five years of experience as a teacher and administrator with seventeen of those years as a middle and high school principal.  Dr. McDowell says of joining SMS, "Along with my passion for young people, this background provides me the skills required to meet the needs of our students. I am excited to begin the process of building positive and productive relationships with our students, parents, staff, and the Seneca/Oconee County community. We will continue to grow and move forward with high expectations and a deep love for children."

INTRAMURALS
A little friendly competition usually ends up being a positive thing. At Seneca Middle School, the competition has just begun. As part of our PBIS program, we participate in an initiative - intramurals - which we have found that definitely excites and motivates our students throughout the year. Most people think of intramural activities as strictly related to sports, and while sports will be incorporated into the SMS intramural system, our program will include much more. Intramural competition at SMS will take place between the three grade levels, 6-8. The goal is for the grades to compete in all areas of student life: academics, attendance, discipline, athletics, music, art, workability skills, etc. Thus the various activities will include things such as flag football, basketball, MAP scores, Honor Roll and even such random items as the cleanliness of the hallways. For each individual activity, the grade level earning first place will earn 60 points towards their grade's point total. Those placing second will earn 40 points and third place will garner 20 points. The latest point totals may be found below. Periodic rewards will be granted to the grade level with the largest point total.

Check back often to see how your grade level is progressing!

6TH GRADE - 0 points
7TH GRADE - 0 points
8TH GRADE - 0 points
