Fort Frye Middle School

We are so proud to be recognized as the best-rated middle school in the area, and this achievement shows that we are moving in the right direction. I am especially proud to see the tremendous work of our staff pay off—many of whom have been here from the very beginning, helping to build this middle school from the ground up. Their dedication, along with the effort of our students and support from families, is what makes this possible.

We know this is just the beginning, and we are excited to keep pushing forward, building on this momentum, and continuing to grow together.

Parenting a teenager today comes with challenges none of us could have imagined. We’re here to help! Check out our upcoming Parent Program designed to support and connect families. Details are on the flyer—hope to see you there!

FFMS Families,
It has been an incredible first full week of school! Reminder: We are in desperate need of gift card (any amount) and pop donations for our PTO raffle. Donations can be sent to school with your child or dropped off in the middle school office. I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend!
