Principal's Message

Welcome to Aliso Viejo Middle School!  I am so proud to be the principal at AVMS and continue our strong traditions of success. At AVMS, we focus on young adolescents. We are all here because we truly enjoy the rewards and challenges of working with middle school age children and their parents. All of our teachers have special training or experience that makes them uniquely qualified to work with your children. Everything we do is done with middle school children in mind and we look forward to including you in those efforts.  You will not find a better learning environment for your young adolescent! We sincerely believe all children can learn.
 
We are proud that AVMS has been previously recognized as a California Distinguished School and a National Blue Ribbon School.  We received these awards as a result of our strong instructional programs, skilled and talented staff, high standards, parent and community involvement, and emphasis on technology.  Our academic programs are rigorous and we prepare our students very thoroughly for high school, college and careers.
 
At AVMS, we realize students are going through an important transition.  Middle school is the place where students learn skills and knowledge that take them from the smaller elementary school environment to the independence and initiative required at the high school.
