Welcome to Odyssey Middle School - Home of the Dragons!

It is with great pleasure and pride that I extend a warm welcome to all students, parents, faculty, and staff to the Odyssey Middle School community. As we embark on another exciting academic year, our commitment to fostering a culture of excellence remains unwavering.

At Odyssey Middle, we believe in the transformative power of education to empower individuals to reach their fullest potential. Our mantra—empower, endeavor, excel—serves as a guiding principle in everything we do.

We strive to empower our students by providing them with a nurturing environment where they can develop not only academically but also socially, emotionally, and morally. Through a rich and diverse curriculum, coupled with innovative teaching methodologies, we aim to instill in our students a lifelong love for learning and the confidence to pursue their dreams.

Endeavor is at the heart of our educational philosophy. We encourage our students to embrace challenges, to push boundaries, and to never settle for mediocrity. Through perseverance, determination, and hard work, we believe that every student can achieve their goals and aspirations.

Finally, our ultimate goal is to see our students excel in all aspects of their lives. Whether it be in academics, sports, arts, or community service, we strive to provide them with the necessary skills, knowledge, and values to become compassionate, responsible, and successful global citizens.

As we embark on this journey together, let us remember that each one of us plays a crucial role in shaping the future. Let us work hand in hand to create a vibrant learning community where every individual is valued, respected, and celebrated for their unique talents and contributions.

We are Odyssey! Together, let us empower, endeavor, and excel!

 

In Leadership and Service,

Charisse M. Ninah, proud principal of Odyssey Middle​
