South Pasadena Middle School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Pasadena Middle School (SPMS) is a public middle school located in South Pasadena, California.
The school is a part of the South Pasadena Unified School District. The school colors are orange and white, which represent the school mascot, a tiger cub. The school has a population of about 1,100 students. The school has a Math Team. They attend math contests annually and had outstanding results. The school is mostly composed of Caucasians, Asians, and Hispanics. The English Language Learners are mostly Koreans and Mandarin Chinese.
South Pasadena Middle School, like certain other middle schools, has block scheduling, but shows a whole new method. A Monday is an "all day", where you have all 6 periods, but no homeroom. Tuesdays and Thursdays are "odd days", where you attend Period 1, brunch, Period 3, lunch, homeroom, and Period 5, in that order. Wednesdays and Fridays are "even days", which are the same thing as "odd days", only substituting Periods 2, 4, and 6 for the other three periods. In 1999, all odd class days were referred as "white days," even class days were "orange days," and all class days were called "Tigger days." This was switched to odd, even, all days, respectively, the next school year.
Currently, South Pasadena Middle School is ranked in the top ten percent in California.
