Dripping Springs Middle School
Moving to Middle School - Updated June 25, 2025
Our Mission
At Dripping Springs Middle School, we come together to cultivate a safe, respectful, and responsible community of learners.
A Note from Mrs. Frankhouser
I hope this email finds you enjoying your summer! They are hard at work renovating our building, and we can't wait to see the finished product.
If you received an email from Mrs. Miller welcoming your child to SSMS last week, but you know you are not zoned to SSMS, don't worry. Everyone got the email, even if you are zoned to be at DSMS.
We are still looking for a Special Ed Math Teacher who can also coach our girls' athletics. If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out! We are also looking for a special education paraprofessional to help support our SLC program.
Your next Paw Press will come the last week of July!
THANK YOU,
Mrs. Frankhouser
