Welcome to Katherine Edwards Middle School's page. I am very proud to have been given the honor of being the school's principal.

Our forward-thinking school aims to prepare students for a rapidly changing world by equipping them with critical thinking skills, global perspective, and respect for core values of: honesty, loyalty, and compassion. I am dedicated to making this school a place that is good for kids. Throughout this site, you'll stay up to date and get a picture of our school and the wonderful things we do here. We are very proud of our students' accomplishments and look forward to many more. Katherine Edwards Middle School has made the following commitment:

- We will not let students off the hook for failing to learn
- We will make students do what is necessary to succeed
- We will not give students the easy way out
- We will give students extra time and support

Our focus is on what students have learned. We provide a variety of experiences that are well planned and articulated to give all students the opportunity to develop their skills to the fullest. At Edwards, we are solution-oriented. We believe everyone is part of making this school a good place for kids. Everyone can come in and address concerns and suggest solutions to make our school a place where children come first. With the assistance of parents, teachers, staff, and students, we provide a safe learning environment that promotes success in all curricular and extracurricular programs. Our goal is to prepare our students for success in a complex society. This requires dedication to being the best we can be.

Over 100 members of our Royal Band performed at Sorensen’s Harvest Festival on Friday! A little sprinkle, but as soon as our Royals started playing, the sun came out! ☀️

They entertained the crowd with “Low Rider,” “Memories,” “Surrender,” “Sway,” “Paint It Black,” “Country Roads,” and so many more! 🎷🥁🎺

Amazing job, Royal Band! Miss Mandy is so proud of you all! 🦁❤️
