Principal's Message

Welcome back Mt. Lion Families, 

It is with great enthusiasm that I get to greet you at the start of the 2024-2025 school year. We the staff at MMS look forward to a productive, fun and engaging academic year. We are excited to continue to increase student engagement in academics, extracurricular, and enrichment activities. I want to continue the positive culture that we all worked so hard to accomplish in the spring. There have been updates to the Student Handbook, Ski Programs etc. so please review them so that you are in the know.  This year we are happy to have Mrs. Ellis back teaching art. The artwork that was produced last semester was amazing and I for one cannot wait to see what she has in store this year. Our elective options are S.T.E.A.M., Life Skills, Study Skills/ College & Career, Yearbook, Science Club, MMS Band and Choir, English Language Development, and subject based intervention for Math and English.  We highly encourage our students and families to increase their involvement in all aspects of education for the betterment of our students' lives.  We strive to live by our school mission and to help our students love the learning process.  School is where our students will develop and build upon their strengths.  It is also a place where students will acknowledge their areas of growth and seek opportunities to develop into a well rounded person.  We want our students to practice; Mt. Lion P.R.I.D.E. and “Choose Kindness” in their actions and words to make our school a welcoming place for everyone.  We will continue this work with a relentless pursuit of achievement for all students and it is imperative that we strengthen our home to school connections to provide equitable support for all learners.

Please keep a lookout for our weekly Mt. Lion Message and review our website for additional information about the rest of the school year, bell schedules, and school events.  We also encourage parents to be involved through various school committees such as School Site Council (SSC), English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC), and our Mammoth Middle School Organization (MMSO).  You can contact our main office for more information on how to participate or review our website for a calendar of meetings, agendas, and minutes. 

We look forward to an outstanding 2024-25 School Year!!!

It’s Great to Be a Mt. Lion!!

Respectfully,
Mr. Ken Dutton
