Proud of the Newberry Middle School Tigers! Thank you to everyone who assisted with today’s 8th Grade Walk and Promotion Ceremony.

I’m proud of the PAWsitive Experience Mentor/Mentee Banquet 2026. I’m thankful for Ms. Brown for founding this program and for Mrs. Wiggins for continuing its excellence at NMS. I’m also grateful for the mentors and the work they’ve done with the mentees throughout the 2025–2026 school year.
It’s all about opportunity at the middle school level, and I’m so proud of the opportunities we, as faculty and staff, provide for students at NMS to grow as young adults.
