Welcome to East Valley Middle School - where We Belong, We Believe, and We Learn. As Principal, I am proud to lead a school that is deeply committed to fostering a culture of excellence, authentic belonging, and future-readiness for every student.

Our Vision for Students

At East Valley Middle School, we believe that every student deserves to:

• Belong: We create an inclusive environment where students feel respected, supported, and celebrated for who they are.

• Believe: We nurture confidence and resilience, helping students believe in themselves and in each other. 

• Learn: We provide rigorous, meaningful learning experiences that challenge students to grow academically and personally.

What Makes EVMS Exceptional?

Our rigorous and innovative curriculum is designed to prepare students for high school and beyond. We offer elective courses in the arts, world languages, and career and technical education, which are all taught by highly qualified and caring educators. 

We believe that strong relationships are the foundation of student success. Our teachers, counselors and support staff work closely with families to ensure every student feels seen, heard and valued.

Through programs like AVID and student leadership, we empower students to become responsible citizens and confident leaders. We are proud to partner with families, local businesses, and the Spokane community to enrich our students’ educational experience. We believe in the power of working together to help our students discover who they are and who they want to become. 

Together, We are East Valley!

East Valley Middle School is more than a place of learning - it is a community where students are empowered to dream big, work hard and lead with heart. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to partnering with you to make these middle school years meaningful and memorable!

Once a Knight, Always a Knight!
