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:
“Had middle class black women begun a movement in which they had labeled themselves “oppressed,” no one would have taken them seriously.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
