Welcome

California Middle School strives to create a student-centered environment that provides our students with the tools necessary to become productive citizens who will make a positive impact in society. We embrace our district’s motto of “equipping today’s children for tomorrow’s challenges” by striving to maximize each student’s learning potential. The Middle School also offers a wide variety of enrichment opportunities including various clubs, athletics, and activities with the goal of developing the total student.

Building and maintaining a strong partnership with parents is paramount to our success as an educational institution. Our staff has a goal of fostering positive relationships while providing challenging curriculum to all of our of students.

I am entering my first year as the Principal at California Middle School after having served as the CMS Assistant Principal the past three years. In that time, I have been incredibly impressed with our staff, our students and our community!

    📝 Our sixth grade English students are diving into the Writing Process!
    Today, they swapped their Fall Traditions pieces with classmates for peer review. Armed with sticky notes and thoughtful eyes, they offered suggestions to help make each other’s writing even better.
    Before finalizing their drafts, students considered the feedback, just like real authors do! Even the best writers revise and edit many times.
    We’re proud to say: We are all authors here! 🍂✍️📚
