Charles D Owen Middle School

Elizabeth Jones: This school is located in a small mountain community which gives it a unique atmosphere. The class sizes are smaller than your average city school which makes for a more "one on one" teaching environment. The choices of extracurricular activities for students are outstanding. There are also after-school activities for students to keep them engaged and focused on their goals and futures.
