Dear Rochester Middle School Students and Families,

Welcome to a new school year at Rochester Middle School!

My name is Chris Clark, and I am honored to serve as the principal of this incredible school community. As we begin the year together, I want to share a core belief that guides my work every day: we are committed to know, value, and support every student.

I believe that strong partnerships between school and home are essential to student success. Working together with students and families allows us to support both academic achievement and social-emotional growth, helping every child reach their full potential. These partnerships are at the heart of my values and the foundation of a thriving school community. 

The beginning of the school year provides many opportunities for students and families to connect with our teachers and staff. These interactions help us establish strong relationships and open lines of communication from the very start. I encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities and to continue reaching out throughout the year whenever you have questions, concerns, or ideas. Communication and collaboration are key to our shared success.

Please know that I am always happy to connect. You can reach me by email or phone, and I welcome the opportunity to partner with you in supporting your child's growth and achievement.

I am excited to be part of Rochester Middle School and this wonderful community. I firmly believe that all students can achieve, and with the support of our dedicated staff, engaged families, and caring community, every student will find success.

I look forward to a fantastic year together.

Chris Clark
Principal
Rochester Middle School
