Principal's Message
Dear Sligh Middle School Families,
Welcome to a new school year at Sligh Middle School! We are excited to welcome back our returning students and families and greet those joining our Cougar community for the first time.
Last year, through the dedication of our students, staff, families, and community, Sligh proudly earned a "B" School Grade. This achievement reflects what is possible when we work together with a shared commitment to excellence.
As we begin this year, we remain focused on providing engaging learning experiences, strong relationships, and opportunities for every student to grow and succeed. Thank you for your partnership and support. Together, let's make this our best year yet!
Warm Regards,
Angela Brown
