Welcome to Gilbert Middle School

On behalf of the faculty and staff, I would like to welcome you to Gilbert Middle School.  Since its start in 2006, GMS has been widely recognized as a top-rated middle school with a proud tradition of student success.  The staff works exceptionally hard to provide our students with a safe and caring environment where relationships and connections are key.  Our teachers appreciate and value the uniqueness of adolescents and provide learning experiences that are rigorous and relevant, offering deep exploration of issues that hold value beyond school.  Our many activities, interventions, enrichments and extracurriculars help us meet the district’s challenge of “Every Student, Every Day”.

The middle school years are a time when students grow and develop socially, emotionally, physically and academically.  We appreciate this opportunity to share the journey with you. As the school year unfolds, please keep in mind one important thing – You Belong Here!

Go Tigers!
