Dear Students and Families,

At D.C. Everest Middle School, our mission is to provide a safe, caring, and supportive environment where every student is inspired to grow, explore, and succeed—academically, socially, and emotionally. 

We understand that middle school is a critical time of development, and we are committed to nurturing the whole child. By encouraging self-reflection, healthy relationships, emotional awareness, and thoughtful decision-making, we aim to equip students with the tools they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. These foundational life skills contribute not only to academic growth but also to a strong sense of self and a healthy, balanced approach to life.

Middle school is a unique and exciting time in a student’s life—a time of rapid growth, increased independence, and important transitions. It’s a place where students begin discovering their interests, building deeper relationships, and developing the skills they’ll need for high school and beyond. We understand these years are a bridge between childhood and adolescence and are here to support students every step of the way.
We encourage all students to take full advantage of the wide variety of academic and extracurricular opportunities our school offers. Getting involved in activities not only builds confidence and leadership but also fosters a strong sense of school pride and community.

We look forward to partnering with students and families to make D.C. Everest Middle School a positive, enriching, and memorable experience for everyone.

Phil Tubbs
Principal
