We are proud to be a school with a strong list of accomplishments made possible by a very dedicated group of administrators, faculty, staff and students. Our faculty prides themselves on providing our students with the very best environment for academic achievement and personal development. Along with our list of academic achievements, our athletes show their Warrior pride with a long list of game wins and trophies that adorn our trophy cases as you enter the school.
Our school offers our students many opportunities to be involved in their school: clubs, sports, after school program, and college/career planning. Our counseling staff is available to assist with the transition from child to teenager that occurs over the three years in our middle school. It is important to remember that Youth Middle School has the staff and the resources available to assist you and your child during this transition.
Parents, please make sure that you to check your child’s grades online by visiting Infinite Campus. It is important to keep an open line of communication with your child’s teacher through parent conferences, email, and the student agenda. To help you stay informed of school events, please regularly visit this website and “ like us” on Facebook. Successful middle school years require a team of administrators, teachers, counselors and parents working together with the same goal.
All of this along with community involvement through PTO, Communities in School, Partners in Education, volunteers, mentors and parent input and support create our school: Youth Middle School -a place “Where Young Minds Succeed.”
I am excited to serve as your principal here at Youth Middle School for another year. Prior to becoming a principal, I was an assistant principal for six years and a teacher for nine years. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Georgia State University along with an Education Masters degree from the University of Georgia. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be the principal at Youth Middle School.
Sincerely,

Welcome, Warriors! I’m excited to be a member of the Warrior family and look forward to a great year with you!
Middle school is a unique time period for our students and our families. My academic and connections teaching experience coupled with my time as an Instructional Coach has helped me see the whole middle school experience from many vantage points. It is my goal to partner with Youth families, so we can work together to provide students the safe, productive, and academically challenging learning environment middle schoolers need, while also ensuring their social and emotional needs are met. I am committed to ensuring families and students enjoy their years at Youth Middle School, where Young Minds Succeed.
I anticipate an awesome school year of learning and hope you will contact me if there is any way I can assist you.

I am thrilled to be a part of the Youth Middle family and look forward to having a successful school year. My goal is to help each student and family feel welcome and find success here at YMS. I remember my middle school years fondly and I want the same for each of our students.
Middle school is my passion. As a teacher, I spent time in the 7th and 8th grades, teaching multiple subjects. Additionally, I coached soccer at the middle and high school levels for several years. I enjoy working with middle school students and helping them determine how to navigate school and life in what can be an exceptionally challenging time in their development. With teaching experience at the middle school level and coaching experience at the high school level, I understand what students need to be successful in the present day and in the future. Whether it is in academics, athletics, music, art, or another interest, I believe that each student has a strength that can be developed here at Youth Middle School in order to prepare them for the next stage in life. It is rewarding to see students develop into responsible young adults and my goal is to ensure that Youth Middle is an environment where that can happen.
I look forward to getting to know you and making this school year successful for all YMS students and families. Please feel free to contact me at any time if I can assist you throughout the school year. Together, we will ensure that Youth Middle School is a place where Young Minds Succeed!

I am eager and excited for another year here at Youth Middle School. Walton County is my home. Prior to being an Assistant Principal, I have served as a Social Studies teacher and head coach. My goal is to create a safe, warm, active learning, and nurturing school environment that allows administration, staff, students, and the community to be united as one Youth Middle School. This school atmosphere will allow me as an assistant principal to lead with my heart. I will reach and touch the lives of each and every administrator, staff member, and student. I will empower each administrator, staff member, and student with positive self esteem and self worth, confidence and in return they will meet the high expectations that are demanded of them academically, socially, physically, athletically, and emotionally. All administrators, staff members, and students will be life-long learners who will be able to succeed in the game of LIFE.
I am excited to have the opportunity to work with such a professional and caring staff. Our teachers, clerical staff, custodians, and cafeteria workers are the backbone to the great successes here at Youth Middle School on a daily basis. Their passion is teaching and serving your children; and their greatest joy is seeing and watching your child succeed in school and life.
I am looking forward to a great school year. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance. Thank you for allowing us to work with your children on a daily basis, it is a blessing.
