History

On January 6, 2003[1], the building that had historically housed the Upperman High School campus was opened for the first day of classes as Cornerstone Middle School. On June 22, 2004, the Herald-Citizen newspaper[2] reported that Cornerstone's first principal, Barbara Good, was to be replaced by Garry Lee.

Accreditation

CMS, like all Putnam County Schools, is 100% accredited with AdvancEd, the parent organization of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools[3].

Starting in 2008, Cornerstone Middle School (and all the Baxter, Tennessee schools) began to introduce the behavioral strategy of School Wide Positive behavior support.

Athletics

Cornerstone offers baseball[4], basketball[5], football[6], golf[7], softball[8] and volleyball[9]. Cornerstone's mascot is the yellowjacket and the school colors are black and gold.

Electives or "Encore" Classes
