Our middle school is part of the Tates Creek complex, which serves southeast Fayette County. The school opened in 1963 as a junior high and became a middle school before the 1990-1991 school year.

All students take P.E. and a foreign language, rotating every other day, and our performing arts department features chorus, speech and drama. Tates Creek is proud to host a trash-can percussion ensemble called CHAOS and also boasts a vibrant club sports program, including lacrosse.

Tates Creek is becoming a green school and is working with the city to implement an environmental program. We have a rain garden on campus, and our students can participate in a summer environmental awareness program.

Keep up with the progress of our renovations:

What makes our school special

Tates Creek is the first middle school in Kentucky to be approved for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. This schoolwide program provides a framework of academic challenge that encourages students to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, and to become critical and reflective thinkers.
