Greetings McDonough Middle School Families and Community,

As your proud principal, I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year, which will be filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and connection. We hold high expectations for all our learners. We believe that every child has the potential to achieve greatness, and it is our responsibility to challenge them to reach their full capabilities. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing rigorous academic instruction that promotes critical thinking, creativity, and resilience. We encourage our learners to embrace challenges, set ambitious goals, and take pride in their accomplishments.

One of the key factors in achieving success is consistent attendance. Regular attendance supports our learners in being engaged with their learning and fosters a sense of belonging within our school community. We encourage all families to prioritize attendance and communicate with us if challenges arise. Together, we can ensure that every learner has the best chance to excel. Additionally, I invite all parents to actively participate in school events, WarHawk Connect meetings, volunteer opportunities, and parent-teacher conferences. Your involvement and engagement strengthens the home-school connection. I firmly believe that every learner can excel and that the partnership between home and school builds confidence in our learners to use their powers to shape their future and the future of our community. Please know that my door is always open to you. I invite you to stay connected with our school community through our website and social media channels, where we will share updates, events, and important information throughout the year.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we can make this school year a remarkable experience for all.

With WarHawk Pride,

Dr. Kimberly Kessinger
Principal
