Mascot:  Archers

Archers have to be ‘on target’ the same as we do at school.  An Archer has to be as “sharp” as an arrow.  This mascot goes perfectly with our logo, for there is an arrow going straight through it.  An Archer not only “points” us the right way, but as students of Discovery Middle School, we should Aim High with our goals to get a better start on life. 

We practice our AIM. High goals throughout the school:  A – positive attitude, I – integrity, and M – Make a Difference.
