A Message from Principal Fernandes
As we close another school year at Pioneer Middle School, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to our students, families, staff, and community for your partnership and support.
This year has been filled with learning, growth, accomplishments, challenges overcome, and many memorable moments. From outstanding performances, competitions, and classroom achievements to everyday acts of kindness and perseverance, our students have continued to make us proud.
Middle school is a remarkable time of growth and discovery, and it is a privilege to watch our students develop academically, socially, and emotionally. None of this happens without the support of dedicated families, committed staff, and a community that values education.
To our 8th graders, congratulations on your promotion to high school. We are excited to see all that you accomplish in the years ahead. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!
I wish all of our families a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer. We look forward to welcoming our students back in the fall for another great year at Pioneer.
With appreciation,
JoAnne Fernandes
