Dear CMMS Community,
 
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that we lost a valued member of our educational community this summer.  Mr. Bryant, our principal, passed away.  He was a big part of our school for the past two years and will be greatly missed.
 
I would like to introduce myself as the new principal for Chief Manuelito Middle School. I have been the assistant principal here at CMMS for the past three years.  I am saddened by the loss of Mr. Bryant, but I am up to the challenge of taking over the school and supporting our staff and students to achieve academic excellence. 
 
I am very excited to announce that we found a new assistant principal.  We didn’t have to look far as Mrs. DeArmond, who has been our 6th grade LA teacher, will begin on August 27th.  We have a lot of new changes happening at CMMS.  New administration, new curriculum and new SAT procedures, but we will continue to: Pursue, Practice, and Produce Academic Excellence.
 
 ~ Sincerely,
Dan Horsley
CMMS Principal
