10 Reasons Holmes Stands Out

Holmes Middle School serves students grade 6 through 8. Known for its diverse student body and strong academic programs, the school emphasizes both academic excellence and personal growth. Holmes offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, academic support, and clubs, to support well-rounded student development. Our school is dedicated to fostering a "caring safe environment for all.." and preparing students for success in high school and beyond.

Holmes is an IB MYP School

We are proud to be an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme school, fostering an environment of inquiry, global citizenship, and personal growth in alignment with the IB’s mission.

Through both IB and AVID, we equip students with the tools to thrive academically and personally, preparing them to be reflective, resilient, and globally-minded individuals.
