Principal's Message
Welcome from the Principal
Dear Katherine Johnson Middle School Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! It is my honor to welcome both our returning families and those joining our school community for the first time.
At Katherine Johnson Middle School, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where every student is challenged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our dedicated staff works each day to inspire curiosity, build meaningful relationships, and help students develop the confidence and skills they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
Middle school is an exciting time of growth and discovery. We believe every student has unique strengths and limitless potential, and we are committed to providing opportunities that encourage critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and perseverance. Together, we will foster a culture of respect, responsibility, and kindness while maintaining high expectations for learning and personal growth.
Strong partnerships between school and home are essential to student success. We encourage families to stay connected by regularly visiting our website, reading school communications, attending events, and reaching out to our staff whenever questions or concerns arise. Working together, we can ensure every student has the support they need to thrive.
Whether you're stepping onto our campus for the first time or returning for another year, we are excited to welcome you to the Katherine Johnson family. I look forward to seeing all that our students will accomplish this year and to celebrating their successes along the way.
Thank you for your continued support of Katherine Johnson Middle School. Together, let's make the 2026–2027 school year one filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable experiences.
Go Astros!
Sincerely,
Damon Smith
Principal
Katherine Johnson Middle School
