Welcome to the St. James Middle School

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year!  I hope you enjoyed a summer vacation filled with fun and exciting memories with your loved ones and friends.  We are so excited to welcome all of you back to a new year of learning and growing.

As I reflect on my first year serving as principal, I am filled with gratitude for the students, families, teachers, and staff who make our school community so special. This past year has been one of learning, growth, and connection. Together, we have celebrated achievements, faced challenges with resilience, and continued building a school culture rooted in respect, curiosity, and care for one another.

Middle school is an important time in the lives of young people. It is a season of discovery, change, and possibility. Over the past year, I have been continually inspired by the energy, creativity, and determination of our students. Their growth reminds us why our work matters so deeply.

As we look ahead, I am hopeful for all that we will accomplish together. We remain committed to creating a safe, welcoming environment where every student feels valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. I am excited for the opportunities that the coming year will bring and confident that, together, we will continue to grow stronger as a school community.

Thank you for your partnership, trust, and dedication to our students. It is truly an honor to serve this school community, and I look forward to another wonderful year ahead.
