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!

    🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans 🇺🇸
    Our Middle School celebrated Veterans Day today by joining local veterans at Grind this morning. Students had the opportunity to visit with them, present gifts, and join together for the Pledge of Allegiance. ❤️🤍💙
    The Middle School will also be displaying Veterans Day bricks in our building to honor and recognize all who have served. Veterans are invited to visit and see this special display.

    We are so proud of you, Mrs. Ingram!
    The VFW Smart/Maher National Citizenship Education Award has announced its Moniteau County VFW Post 4345 Winner, Mrs. Dyan Ingram!
    We invite all veterans and their families to join us at the California Eagles Club for Veterans Day activities beginning at 5:30 PM, where Mrs. Ingram will be recognized for her outstanding achievement. Judges select recipients of this prestigious award based on Citizenship, Innovation, Resources, and Passion. All qualities that Mrs. Ingram exemplifies daily. Her dedication to honoring and supporting veterans is evident through her work both inside and outside the classroom.
    For the past six years, Mrs. Ingram has led the Veterans Day program at the middle school, coordinating meaningful events that honor local veterans and engage students in learning about service and sacrifice. In addition to her work with Veterans Day, Mrs. Ingram has devoted 8 years to coordinating the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program in Moniteau County, helping ensure children in need receive gifts during the holiday season.
    Her commitment to community service, patriotism, and education truly shines, and this award is a well-deserved recognition of her impact. Congratulations, Mrs. Ingram, and thank you for all you do for our school and community! 🇺🇸💙
