We hope you are taking some time to recharge this summer and are looking forward to a great new year. We are excited to reconnect with the children and see their smiling faces! Information for the new year will be updated during the summer.
Welcome
Welcome to Somers Middle School, a place of great transitions! An accredited Middle Years School, SMS nurtures life-long learning and global citizenship with a focus on reflection, open-mindedness, and inquiry. We support the development of the whole child with an emphasis on respect of self and others, learning responsibility for one’s actions, and developing acceptance and appreciation for the differences of others. I am proud of the SMS tradition of helping middle school students navigate the challenges of adolescence by focusing on strong academics while providing a supportive environment.
