Percy Julian Middle School

Named after famous chemist and Oak Park resident Percy Lavon Julian, this Oak Park middle school serves local students in sixth through eighth grade. Julian is one of two middle schools in Oak Park. Students from Beye, Irving, Longfellow, & Mann elementary schools attend middle school here. School leaders say they're committed to offering their adolescent students an educational foundation that includes "knowledge, creativity, fitness, self-esteem and respect for others." The curriculum includes traditional subjects of study, including language arts, physical education, consumer science, visual arts, music, health and technology. There's also a wealth of extra curricular activities available for Julian students.
