Marina Middle School

Dear Marina Families and Students,

As we navigate an increasingly complex political landscape, I recognize the uncertainty that many of you may feel. Despite the uncertainties surrounding us, I want to express a message of optimism and hope. At Marina Middle School, we are steadfast in our commitment to creating a supportive and welcoming environment for each and every student and all families who walk through our doors. Here, everyone belongs.

Here at Marina our mission to - love, challenge, and equip students to become compassionate global leaders - guides everything we do. This commitment is rooted in our deep love for our students and in the belief that together, we can overcome obstacles and create a brighter future. Our school community is resilient, caring, and dedicated to empowering our young leaders to rise to meet the challenges of our world with courage and compassion.

Please know that Marina Middle School will continue to do everything in our power to support all of our students during these uncertain times. We are here to listen, to understand, and to uplift. Our administrative and counseling teams are ready and available to hold space for any student who may need extra support or simply a listening ear.

Together, we will move forward with strength and unity, nurturing a community that celebrates diversity, fosters growth, and prepares our students to lead with kindness and empathy.

With warm regards,

Mr Michael Harris
Principal
Marina Middle School
