PRINCIPAL'S CORNER

Center Grove Middle School North is known as a school that cares. Our students, staff, and families enjoy a warm and collaborative culture that brings out the best in us all. We have amazing parent and community support that helps our students and staff achieve more. It is quite an honor to serve as principal on a team that is so dedicated to providing exceptional educational experiences for our kids.  

CGMSN fosters a learning environment that empowers students with many options as they prepare for their future. We also encourage our kids to get involved in school clubs, sports, choir, band, orchestra, theater, student council, and many other opportunities.

Our educational opportunities must continue to be academically challenging, engage each student by linking the curriculum to previous knowledge and experiences, and also be exciting to promote further exploration of ideas. We are committed to providing rigorous and equitable opportunities for our students to acquire the skills necessary to become productive citizens and leaders in a vastly changing society. Together, we can make CGMSN an even better place for our students to learn and grow. Our best years are yet to come. 

Respectfully,
