Parents and Students,
Welcome to Center Middle School. As your sixth grade principal, it is my belief that the students we teach are at a pivotal stage in life where only the best instruction and example can guide them to the path of success. It is my goal as principal to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for the students who are making the difficult transition from childhood to early adolescence. Our teachers recognize the complexity of this time in their lives and offer the students positive models to emulate. We will teach and encourage organization, and effective study skills. By teaching the students a sense of responsibility, the students can then learn to become more independent and self-motivated. Our ultimate goal is to lead and teach with an infectious enthusiasm that will foster a love of learning in our students.

Hello! My name is Dr. Jesi Cygan, and I am lucky to loop up with our 8th graders this year. I enjoy the middle school level so much because they have great senses of humor, they're curious, and they are excited and ready to become more prepared for their futures. I can only hope we as educators have the same impact on our students' lives as they have on us. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work with you and your child. We are in this together, working as a team. Our number one goal is the success of each and every child. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions and/or concerns.
