William Dandy Middle

The vision of our Magnet Program is to prepare students to be successful in a global and increasingly competitive environment by offering a rigorous and relevant curriculum.  The Magnet Programs are designed for students from sixth through eighth grade.
ALL Magnet Students are required to dress in the attire that represents their unique program.  Our principal, Ms. Winston-Davis emphasizes the importance of making good impressions and wants our students to highlight their aspirations. 

Pre-Law

The Pre-Law & Public Affairs Program is geared toward establishing and enhancing critical thinkers, while building and improving Language and Reading Skills.  Law Studies is a rigorous course that requires an enormous amount of reading and the ability to analyze critical information and formulate solutions that will be fair and just in accordance with our legal system.  The highlight of the Pre-Law Program is the Mock Trial we compete in twice a year.  The Mock Trial helps students gain an understanding of the legal system by providing opportunities to collaborate with Nova Law students and attorneys from distinguished law firms in the community. 

*Pre-Law students must come dressed in their Law vest embroidered with the Pre-Law logo, along with a white button down collared dress shirt and black or blue dress slacks or skirt.
