W elcome to Mahoney Middle School, home of the awesome Raiders! We are one of two middle schools in the city of South Portland. You can find us located a few blocks from the Casco Bay Bridge. Our population averages between 350 and 400, with slightly more boys than girls this year’s sixth grade.

If you were a student here, you would have 4 core classes, language arts, math, social studies, and science. Each of these classes is 55 minutes long. You would also have 2 periods of related arts. Related arts is made up of a rotation of art, home economics, industrial technology, physical education, general music, quest, and foreign language. Many of our students are also involved in band and chorus.

Mahoney has a range of programs that address the needs of our diverse population. We provide cross-graded math classes for students who are academically gifted in math. In addition we have a number of self contained special education classes for students identified as academically or behaviorally challenged. Our staff is committed to providing the support that our students need to be successful in their educational career.

Beyond the school day we have many things going on for students to choose from. All of our seventh and eighth graders can elect to play a sport if they so choose. Sixth graders can participate in cross-country, indoor/outdoor track, cheerleading and swimming. For students wanting some physical activity but not necessarily a long-term commitment, there are intramurals. In addition, we have an active student council, a productive yearbook committee, a drama group, a civil rights team, and a school newspaper. Beyond that you never know what activities might arise because someone has expressed an interest.

The staff and the students at Mahoney take pride in our school community. Go Raiders!
