Message from the Principal

I am thrilled to be the new principal at Marine View Middle School. After spending 12 years in the Ocean View School District, I am familiar and comfortable with the established high expectations for student achievement and professional development. While we are continually challenged by the state budget crisis, it is important to the Marine View staff and me that we continue to provide our students the same valuable programs that earned Marine View not only its outstanding reputation state wide but also the National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award. That is why we are continuing to provide outstanding programs such as Chorus, the GATE/Honors program, Jazz Ensemble, Band and a wonderful Fine/Performing Arts program. I look forward to sharing the talents and commitment of this dedicated staff as this dedication has made Marine View School the pride of our community.
