Message from Crocker's Principal
Crocker Middle School is proud to be the premier public middle school in the area. Our whole-child approach to social and emotional development coupled with our rigorous instructional practices have led us to become the best public middle school in the area. Our enthusiastic and dedicated educators are uniquely poised to support your soon-to-be Viking in a few short months and are looking forward to meeting you as well as your students.
We are so excited to be able to share the many wonderful opportunities your students will have here at Crocker and will look forward to meeting you soon. There is no better place to grow into a young adult than Crocker Middle School where students can Be Here. Be You. [and] Belong. -Brené Brown.
In partnership,
Keith J. Rocha, Principal and Proud Crocker Viking

Crocker's future Multipurpose Room (MPR)
As you have probably heard, we have started planning for a new MPR! Demolition and construction is tentatively scheduled to start in June of 2025, which means we have a whole year for planning! During construction Makers space and Culinary Arts (as well as all other electives) will continue to run we will simply reengineer our facilities to ensure Makerspace and Culinary Arts specifically continue without disruption.
