Principal's Message:Acacia Middle School is an exciting place to attend school. We have a remarkable staff that is dedicated to educating students and providing a safe learning environment for all. Our students understand that we are “Positive, Respectful Individuals Dedicated to Excellence” ( Cougar P.R.I.D.E.). At Acacia Middle School, we will provide the essential components to a quality school program. A rigorous academic curriculum is in place to meet the needs of all levels of students and enhance achievement. Acacia offers supplemental assistance programs to provide help to students who are working below grade level. In addition, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities to meet the vast interests of our student body and highly encourage all students to become involved. As Principal of Acacia Middle School, I look forward to building a successful educational community founded on professional relationships with students, parents, and staff. I encourage participation and welcome visits to campus. Go Cougars! Up and Atom Challenge!We are proud of our Up and Atom Challenge team that participated in the annual science quiz show competition on May 2, 2012 at T.H.S. They represented themselves, their families, and their school well! Thank you Mr. Gruwell for your support of our school team!

Homework is a vital piece of learning - as such,teachers on occasion will assign a 2nd chance homework hour after school on Monday's and Tuesdays to those students who are not completing homework regularly. If your child is scheduled for a ZAP homework hour - your child's teacher will contact you with the date and time. Should you have any more questions, please feel free to contact the school during normal school hours.
