BLUSH

BLUSH is a female mentoring program for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at Mauldin Middle School. The female mentoring program provides not only the opportunity for additional learning experiences, but also a time for sharing and a time of growing together with fellow students. The female mentoring program will give the students a chance to belong, a chance to express themselves, and a chance to benefit from the support of group members. Our motto is "Changing one young lady at a time." This program is based on teacher/counselor recommendations.

We are exposed to field trips that expand and broaden our points of view to let us know that we can and will be successful. We do school projects that allow us to give and serve our school and community. We hear from speakers who encourage, motivate and inspire us to be the absolute best that we can be. Simply stated, MMS Boys to Men Club is all about recognizing and acting on a desire to be a better young man one day at time, one week at a time, one month at a time.

Spirit Squad

The Mauldin Mustang Spirit Squad is a cheer club for Mauldin Middle Sports. This club was created to give students the opportunity to enhance and utilize their personalities while promoting school spirit for the Mauldin Mustangs. The Spirit Squad will be a Coed squad. Throughout the Mauldin Mustang Spirit Squad club, students will learn cheers, chants, dances, and complete team building activities. Students will be prepared to perform learned techniques throughout both girls’ and boys’ home basketball games. As the club expands the hope is to support all sports in different ways. The Spirit Squad is considered a club, meaning rising 6th,7th, and 8th graders are allowed to participate. Tumbling, splits, and stunt skills are not required to be on the team. Each Spirit Squad Team member will be provided a game day calendar of all the required  home basketball games and additional sporting events they will attend and perform at during the school year. Practices will be held Tuesday through Thursday from 5:30 to 7:00 PM.

Coaches Brittney White and Keisha Edgeworth can be contacted by email or phone at 803-281-2161.


Student Council

Mauldin Middle School Student Council represents the interests and concerns of the student body, provides a channel for communication between students and school administration, and fosters a sense of community and responsibility among students.

Student Council acts as a voice for students, ensuring their views and concerns are heard by school leadership. It provides opportunities for students to develop leadership skills, including communication, organization, problem-solving, and teamwork. Student Council plans and coordinates school events, such as dances, fundraisers, spirit weeks, and other activities that promote school spirit and community; advocates for student needs and interests, such as changes in school policies, improvements in facilities, or addressing issues affecting student life; promotes volunteerism and community service within the school and the larger community, encouraging a culture of giving back and civic responsibility; and helps create a positive and inclusive school atmosphere where all students feel valued and engaged. Members work with school staff, parents, and other stakeholders to support a positive school environment and enhance the overall educational experience.

Mauldin Middle Student Council helps improve the school environment, enrich the student experience, and prepare students for future leadership roles.

Yearbook

The yearbook class is made up of a group of eighth graders who document events before school, during the school day and at after school events. Rising eighth graders may apply for a position on the yearbook staff in the second semester of their seventh grade year. The application process requires an essay, 3 teacher recommendations, a signed parent permission and an interview with the yearbook advisor.

Each staff member carries a camera with them throughout the school day, visits classes in all grade levels and all subject areas. Staff members work to create a yearbook that accurately and fairly reflects the student population. Staff members build a ladder which plans every area they are expected to cover. They then divide the coverage into sections. Time management and team work are essential for these individuals and the ability to meet deadlines is crucial!

This is a full-year class and it is often necessary for students who secure a position on the staff take a virtual class. This can be done during the summer, during the school day, or outside of school.

Youth in Government

Youth in Government (YIG) is a national program for middle and high school students that allows them to experience government policies and practices firsthand. The program's goal is to develop the next generation of active citizens by providing students with the skills, training, and relationships to become engaged citizens and productive community leaders. 

Students who participate in YIG during the school year go to Columbia, South Carolina for the Middle School Conference where they present their bills to other middle schools in a mock government. Students have the opportunity to run for leadership positions such as Lieutenant Governor and Governor.
