Meet our Wonderful Teachers & Staff

At John Muir Middle School, we are privileged to have an outstanding team of talented teachers and staff members who are dedicated to helping every student succeed. Our experienced educators create a rigorous, engaging learning environment that challenges students while supporting their growth academically, socially, and emotionally.

We hold high expectations for all Wildcats and are committed to providing the tools, guidance, and encouragement students need to reach their full potential. At JMMS, “we ARE future high school graduates!” and our staff works every day to help make that vision a reality.

If you have questions or concerns, our teachers, counselors, and staff are always available and committed to supporting your child’s education and development, ensuring every Wildcat thrives with Patience, Respect, Integrity, Dependability, and Empathy - the foundation of Wildcat PRIDE.
