Following the “Mac Bay Way”, our goal is for each student and staff to create and participate in meaningful, memorable, and fun learning experiences. Our challenging curriculum, a wide range of exploratory electives, and numerous extracurricular clubs and sports help students grow both in and out of the classroom. We know the transition to middle school can be challenging, so our 6th graders have a special schedule and separate hallways to help them feel comfortable in their own space. To further support all students, we have a daily “Academy” period focused on social, emotional, and other skills to help them navigate their middle years and get ready for high school. Our dedicated educators prioritize building strong relationships to ensure every student is known and grown over their three years at Macatawa Bay Middle School. Welcome to Mac Bay!
