Ms. Deja Gascot, FAS Secretary
Welcome to Frank Antonides Middle School! I am honored to serve as principal and grateful to be part of a school community dedicated to supporting every student as they grow academically, socially, and personally. The middle school years are an exciting time of growth, discovery, and development. We believe that every student has the ability to learn, grow, and make meaningful contributions to our school community. We remain committed to providing engaging learning opportunities designed to help all students reach their full potential.
Each grade level in our middle school is a unique Spartan community with its own character education theme, designed to help students grow into responsible, caring, and engaged members of the school community. Our 5th graders are Explorers, learning what it means to become kind and caring members of the middle school community. 6th graders are Builders, developing confidence and independence as they continue their educational journey. They are learning to have the courage to try new things, make good choices, and stand up for others. 7th graders are Leaders, developing the independence, accountability, and responsibility needed to lead by example. Finally, 8th graders are Stewards, reaching the culmination of their Spartan journey within the school community. They are striving to be responsible role models, protect others, and become the best versions of themselves as they prepare for high school.
As we begin another exciting school year, I look forward to partnering with our families and staff members to put Students First! Go Spartans!
