Welcome to Middle School School 61! We are thrilled to have you as part of our 61 FAMILY. As the principal, I am excited to embark on this academic year with all of you.

At Middle School 61, we strive to create a learning environment that fosters growth, curiosity, and collaboration. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing the highest quality education and support to every student.

What makes our school truly special is our strong sense of community. We believe that together, we can achieve greatness. Our motto, "Together We Can," reflects our belief in the power of teamwork and unity. We encourage all students to embrace this spirit and actively participate in school activities and initiatives.

Middle school is a transformative period in a student's life, and we are here to guide and support each and every one of you. We offer a wide range of academic programs, extracurricular activities, and sports opportunities to help students explore their interests and develop their talents.

Being a cougar at Middle School School 61 means being part of a close-knit family that supports and celebrates each other's successes. We believe in fostering a positive and inclusive school culture, where every student feels valued and respected.

I invite you to explore our website and familiarize yourself with all the resources and information available. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated staff members. We are here to assist you in any way we can.
