Radium Springs Middle Magnet School of the Arts

was formerly Radium Springs Middle School

(RSMS). Completed in the spring of 1969 and

occupied in the fall of that same year, it served

approximately 500 youngsters. The physical plant

included a free-standing building, housing an industrial

arts shop and band room. Three major renovations

occurred between 1970 and 1977. The gymnasium was added first; a wing was added in 1972-1973; and

a second wing was built in 1976-1977. During the course of its growth, RSMS transitioned from the junior

high concept to the middle school concept – serving as many as 680 youngsters, at one time. 

Today, Radium is a magnet school of the Arts, housed just south of the original site, in a multi-million dollar

state-of-the-arts facility designed to accommodate and educate 750 scholars. While achievement of

academic excellence continues to be its focus, Radium offers a seamless submersion in the Arts – including

band, dance, orchestra, theatre, and visual arts. 

Unique, in that it is the only school in the district that is outside of the city limits, it is located near the famed

Radium Springs - for which it’s named.  Radium welcomes the rest of the world to its daily pursuit of

excellence – academically, economically, socially, politically, and spiritually. Join us at the home of the
