Principal's Message

Dear Harlem Middle School Students and Families,
 
The 2025–2026 school season is upon us! I am excited to open our doors and welcome our Bulldogs back for what promises to be an engaging, enriching, and inspiring year of learning and growth.
At Harlem Middle School, we are connected to invest in the best - our students, our staff, and our community. This year, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where every student can thrive and enjoy the middle years. Whether your child is stepping into our halls for the first time or returning as a seasoned Bulldog, we are ready to partner with you to make this year the best one yet.
 
We are proud of the strong relationships we have with our families and community, and we know that together, we can achieve great things. From academic excellence to character development, from extracurricular opportunities to community engagement, we are focused on helping every student reach their full potential.
 
Let’s make this year one to remember—full of growth, achievement, and Bulldog pride. Thank you for being an essential part of our Harlem Middle School family. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things we’ll accomplish together. Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!
 
With Bulldog Pride,
Valery Reed, Principal
Harlem Middle School
