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!

    👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬 Solid or Liquid?
    Our 5th graders put their science skills to the test with a fun hands-on lab mixing cornstarch and water! They worked together to create hypotheses about whether the mixture would act more like a solid or a liquid. 🌟
    This engaging activity is always a class favorite—our students loved exploring, experimenting, and discovering science in action! 🧪✨

    Today, we were honored to welcome Burrell Behavioral Health to speak with our students about the importance of suicide prevention. Their team shared powerful messages about hope, awareness, and resources that are available to anyone who may be struggling.
    September is Suicide Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind one another that help is always within reach. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people, which is why education and open conversations in schools are so important. By talking about mental health, we help students know they are never alone and that reaching out for support is a sign of strength.
    🌟 If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.
    Call or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
    Reach out to a trusted teacher, counselor, or friend
    Remember: it’s okay to ask for help
    Together, we can create a school and a community where every student feels seen, valued, and supported. 💛
