Lewis and Clark Middle School, located at 6901 Burt Street, opened its doors to students in the fall of 1960. A tornado struck the school on May 6, 1975, and the building was totally renovated before reopening for students. Lewis and Clark provides a diverse student population with instruction in regular and special education and English as a Second Language. Students are assigned to interdisciplinary teams for instruction in language arts, social studies, mathematics, science, and reading. Lewis and Clark has several Adopt-a-School partners who actively support the school in many ways to benefit the students. In addition, the Blazer Club (parent-teacher organization) provides support and financial assistance to the school. Since 1960 the students, staff, parents, and community have worked together to establish and maintain Lewis and Clark Middle School's continuing \Tradition of Excellence.
