Welcome, Charger Families!

Challenger Middle School is A-rated by the state of Florida, and our mission is to Challenge YOUR Mind and to Charge YOUR Spirit!

In fact, we have been doing just that for our students since we opened our doors in 2006.  We are proud of what our students have achieved, but we are more excited for what's to come--every day, we strive to be 1% better.  

In our halls, you will see students excelling academically, physically, and artistically. We offer accelerated academic programs, an emphasis on the arts, and multiple sports and clubs throughout the year.

Challenger Middle School has achieved Level 1 certification in Marzano High Reliability School, PBIS Model School Status, and was recognized as Exceeding Expectations in Student Achievement by ECTAC Florida for 2025-2026.
