Auburn Middle School, also known as AMS, is a school in Auburn, Maine. It contains grades seven and eight. The AMS mascot is Flash the Falcon, and the school colors are maroon and white.
Students are split up into teams of around 100 students, then into homerooms on those teams, and then even further into advocacy groups. The students only stay in their advocacy groups for a short period of time in the morning. After this activity, the day is divided into academic blocks that vary by team. The U/A (unified arts) schedule rotates from Maroon to White days and these classes change every quarter.

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or school:
“The middle years are ones in which children increasingly face conflicts on their own,... One of the truths to be faced by parents during this period is that they cannot do the work of living and relating for their children. They can be sounding boards and they can probe with the children the consequences of alternative actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
