Captain's Log

A message from your Administrative Team

To all of our amazing students:


Middle school is a time of incredible change and opportunity. Each of you has unique talents and strengths that make our school a vibrant and dynamic place. Remember, every challenge you face is a chance to grow stronger and more resilient. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, try new things, and make mistakes. It’s through these experiences that we learn the most.

I encourage you to be kind to one another, support your peers, and always strive to be the best version of yourselves. Your attitude, effort, and determination will shape not only your future but also the future of our school community.


Let’s continue to make this year unforgettable by working hard, staying positive, and lifting each other up. Together, we can achieve great things!

Best wishes for a fantastic year ahead,


-Mr. Vera
