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 remains a true privilege to lead such an outstanding school, where excellence in academics, arts, athletics, and activities is not just a goal but a standard. I genuinely believe that South Pointe is among the finest middle schools in the world.

 

Once again, South Pointe Middle School has been recognized as a Best Middle School by U.S. News & World Report—a testament to the incredible work of our students, staff, and families. This recognition adds to our growing list of honors, including being a California and National Schools to Watch School, a California Exemplary Arts Education Program School, a California Gold Ribbon School, a California Distinguished School, and a California Business for Education Excellence School.

At South Pointe, we are deeply rooted in tradition, pride, and a shared commitment to ensuring that every student has access to multiple pathways for success. We understand that success looks different for every child, and we proudly uphold the belief that “every child is known.” Our school is a safe, supportive, and academically challenging environment where every student can thrive. We maintain high expectations to ensure our students are well-prepared for high school and beyond—equipped with the skills they’ll need for college, careers, and life.

 

In addition to our rigorous academic programs, we place a strong emphasis on fostering a deep sense of connectedness within our school community. Every student, staff member, and family should feel a true sense of belonging at South Pointe. We believe in educating the whole child—through vibrant athletic programs, a dynamic Associated Student Body (ASB), over 20 active student clubs, and a dedicated, parent-led Community Club that supports schoolwide events and enrichment.

These robust extracurricular offerings complement our academic foundation and help students explore their interests, develop talents, form lasting friendships, and grow socially and emotionally. The continued success of South Pointe is built on the strength of our students, the commitment of our staff, the involvement of our families, and the strong relationships that define our school culture. Together, we are “The South Pointe Family,” and I’m confident that this year will be one of our very best yet.

Let’s make it an exceptional school year!
