Broughal Middle School is one of four public middle schools in the Bethlehem Area School District, serving primarily students from the South Side. In 2009, students were recently moved into a new, LEED-certified building that has also been given certification by the U.S. Green Buildings Council. With the new building, came a new academic focus on science, technology and mathematics. The building itself has become part of lesson plans. Sports and extracurricular activities are an important part of student life. There is a band, an orchestra and a football team that competes with other area middle schools.
