Since 1988, the Murdock Middle School staff has provided our students with a strong academic foundation; one that develops cognitive and social skills.  Our students are empowered to be proactive members of the community. Our staff takes great pride in the quality of education offered and the innovative opportunities provided to MMS students.  Murdock’s history of academic excellence continues to exist as evidenced in our students’ high academic performance, the number of students who participate in community organizations, and the number of students receiving community awards and accolades.  We are proud of our students’ accomplishments.  These successes are a reflection of dedicated Mariner professionals striving toward excellence in education.

The Mariner staff will continue working diligently to keep teaching and learning a top priority for all Murdock Middle School students.  They will constantly strive to maximize each student’s potential by emphasizing the three “Rs’: be Respectful, Responsible and Ready to learn.

As Principal of Murdock Middle School, I ask for parents’ assistance to help keep a strong academic focus for our students.  It is through this partnership of parents, teachers, and community that we can ensure all our students are Riding the Wave to Success.  Working together we will make a difference in the lives of our children.

Sincerely,

Maria Gifford
