History

The campus of Triadelphia Middle School is located in the Oak Park section of Wheeling, West Virginia. The campus consists of 27 acres with a main academic building, a fine arts building, athletic building, football field, basketball courts, and support areas. The school is rich in tradition and academic accomplishments. From 1917 until 1976, Triadelphia was a high school, grades 9 to 12, and in later years, grades 10 to 12. From 1976 until 1991, it was a junior high school, grades 7 to 9. In 1983, it was designated as a charter member by the United States Department of Education as a National School of Excellence. In 1990, it was designated as a Middle School, grades 6 to 8, and has continued in that capacity to the present.

Mission

Triadelphia Middle School faculty in grades 6 through 8 recognize the need for the transitional period between elementary and high school education and believe the total staff must function as a team that includes parents, students, and the community. They maintain a middle school attitude, which recognizes the distinct physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs of the students, and develop programs recognizing these needs and directing the energy and vitality of the students toward the maximum realization of their potentials. Triadelphia Middle School works in compliance with the No Child Left Behind benchmarks and accreditation standards.
