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:
“Complete courage and absolute cowardice are extremes that very few men fall into. The vast middle space contains all the intermediate kinds and degrees of courage; and these differ as much from one another as men’s faces or their humors do.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
