Principal's Message

Elgin School Community:

Welcome to the Elgin Middle School Website!  On behalf of myself and the Elgin Middle School team I would like to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year! My name is Shawn Murphy and I am grateful to serve as your building principal.  I am excited to be a part of the Elgin school community and looking forward to connecting with all of our students and parents.

The middle school is home to all students in grades 6, 7, and 8.  Our staff is dedicated to creating learning experiences that align with 21st Century skills related to communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.   Students are afforded meaningful curriculum experiences through academic core instruction combined with diverse elective offerings including world language, engineering, health, physical education, technology, and art courses.  Additionally, students' technology needs are met through the use of a district issued computer device as well as working in classrooms that are equipped with relevant technology tools.

To ensure we are maximizing students' potential, our team implements a Positive Behavioral Instructional Supports (PBIS) program that teaches successful habits in and outside of the classroom.  

Our staff is committed to establishing a strong partnership to ensure your child has a positive educational experience.  We encourage you to visit our website often as it contains information that may be helpful throughout the school year.  

Please know my office door is always open and I welcome your questions, concerns, and/or comments. 

Looking forward to a great school year!

Mr. Shawn Murphy
