South Middle School

Dear South Middle School Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I am honored and excited to serve as the principal of South Middle School, a place where students are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a safe and supportive environment.

At South Middle School, we believe that every child has unique talents and potential, and our dedicated faculty and staff work tirelessly to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed. We are committed to providing high-quality instruction, fostering a love for learning, and promoting the values of respect, responsibility, and resilience.

As we begin a new school year, we are especially focused on creating strong partnerships between school and home. We believe that open communication and collaboration with families are key components of student success. Whether your child is entering 6th grade or completing their final year in 8th grade, we look forward to working together to help them achieve their goals.

Please be sure to stay informed by regularly checking our website, making sure you are set up in ParentSquare, and following us on our social media platforms. Our doors are always open—whether you have questions, concerns, or ideas to share, we welcome your input and involvement.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We are proud to be part of the South Middle School community and are excited about the journey ahead.

-Mr. Whitmore
