Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!
I am thrilled to welcome all students, staff, families, and community members to another exciting year at South Pointe Middle School. As your principal, it is a privilege to lead such an outstanding school, where excellence in academics, arts, athletics, and activities is not just a goal but a standard. I truly believe that South Pointe is among the finest middle schools globally.
In 2024, South Pointe Middle School was recognized as a Top Middle School by US News and World Report, adding to our growing list of accolades. We are also proud to be a California and National Schools to Watch School, California Exemplary Arts Education Program School, California Gold Ribbon School, California Distinguished School, and California Business for Education Excellence School.
At South Pointe, we are deeply rooted in our traditions, school pride, and commitment to ensuring that every student has access to multiple pathways for success. We believe in the importance of recognizing that success is unique to each student, and we adhere to the philosophy that “every child is known.” We are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and challenging educational environment where every student can thrive. Our high expectations ensure that students are well-prepared to advance to the next level, equipped with the skills necessary for future college and career readiness.
Beyond our rigorous academic programs, we place a strong emphasis on fostering connectedness within our school community. We are committed to making sure every student, staff member, and family feels a sense of belonging at South Pointe. Our focus on educating the whole child is supported by our vibrant athletic programs, a dynamic Associated Student Body (ASB), an array of 23 diverse clubs, and our engaged parent-led Community Club, all of which offer abundant opportunities to connect and grow.
Our comprehensive extracurricular offerings complement our strong academic foundation, providing students with varied opportunities to develop their talents, build relationships, explore new interests, and enhance their interpersonal skills. The success of South Pointe Middle School is built on our well-rounded students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and the strong bonds within our community. Together, we embody what we proudly call “The South Pointe Family,” and we are excited to continue our journey towards even greater achievements.
Let’s make this school year truly exceptional!
