We’re excited to reward our students for showing up and making each day count! Every Monday, 2nd-period classes with perfect attendance from the previous week will receive a special treat. Let’s keep up the great attendance, Lions – every day matters!

Our talented DMS Lions showcased their skills and teamwork at the October UIL Meet! Competing in various events, our students demonstrated dedication, hard work, and true Lion pride. We’re so proud of all participants who represented De Leon Middle School with excellence. Special thanks to our coaches and volunteers for their support.

Our DMS Lions celebrated Homecoming Week with spirit and pride! Students enjoyed themed dress-up days, exciting activities, and came together to cheer on our team at the big game. Thank you to everyone who made it a memorable week!

Students had an important hands-on session with Nurse Sojak, learning vital techniques to help in emergency situations.

Please join us in welcoming our two newest members of our Pride!
At-Risk Student Tutors Mrs. Martinez assisting in Math and Science classrooms!
And Mr. Saenz, a former Lion for 10 years, assisting in RLA and Social Studies classrooms!

The 6th-grade team gathered for a delightful lunch at school, celebrating teamwork and friendship. Sharing good food and great company, they reinforced the spirit of unity that makes our community special!

Our students had a hands-on experience in the digestive system lab, where they learned about how food travels through the body. Through fun experiments and activities, they discovered the important roles each organ plays in digestion. It was a great way to engage and deepen their understanding of this essential system!

Our 6th-grade art students created their own Alebrijes, inspired by Mexican artist Pedro Linares! Using unique shapes, bright colors, and vibrant textures, they brought these mythical creatures to life in honor of our shared heritage. Additionally, some of our artistic Lions painted a giant guitar for the Fiesta de Palmas at the McAllen Convention Center.

A group of 8th-grade girls from De Leon had the opportunity to attend the Girls in STEM Conference today in Port Isabel, which featured keynote speaker Kathy Lueders, Director at SpaceX.

Congratulations to Ms. Y. Castillo, Mrs. M. McMillan, the IB Team, and Mrs. A. Cavazos-Arjona for being awarded McAllen Education Foundation grants! These dedicated teachers submitted their applications in September to support initiatives that address the needs of our campus and students. DeLeon received the largest grant amount awarded so far, and we’re excited to see the positive impact this will have on our campus and students!

Our DMS Lions showed their commitment to staying drug-free and had a blast doing it! From themed dress-up days to fun activities, students proudly said “No” to drugs and “Yes” to healthy choices!

CTE students were challenged to create either a mug or water bottle which showed off Breast Cancer Awareness, ADHD Awareness, or Stop Bullying Awareness. They delivered and then some!

Our DMS staff came together over the weekend for some kickball fun, embracing teamwork and healthy habits! What better way to stay active and connect than a friendly game in the sun?

This month, we’re focusing on “Supporting Your Child Beyond the Classroom”

This month challenge your child to host a fun family day! Get creative, snap some pics, and share your hangout ideas with us!
