Principal's Message:
Welcome to Canyon Middle School, home of the Mighty Jaguars. CMS believes that if we all work together, we will create an atmosphere that is conductive to learning and success. While 2007-2008 is going to be a an extremely busy year, we hope to get to know all of our students and parents.

Obtaining the coveted TEA Recognized Status is Canyon Middle School's primary goal for the 07-08 school year. With such high expectations, we believe that all of our students will reach high levels of academic performance, while fostering positive growth in behaviors and attitudes. Along with attaining their maximum educational potential, we plan on preparing our students to be successful in the ever changing society in which we live.

We encourage all of our students to get involved in the many activities that are offered at CMS. The more involved your student becomes-the more committed s/he will be to succeed. If you have any questions or ideas, please contact me at the school or by e-mail. Again, welcome to Canyon Middle School, home of the Mighty Jaguars.
