Tolt Middle School
Principal, Michael Piper

Welcome to Tolt Middle School!
Tolt Middle School serves approximately 675 students in grades 6–8. We believe that all students can learn at grade level or above, and we are committed to creating a school where every student is known, supported, challenged, and given the opportunity to thrive. We look for the strengths and talents within every learner while maintaining high expectations for academic growth, responsible citizenship, and lifelong learning.
Our work is grounded in collaboration. We use data to inform our practices, protect time for teacher collaboration through Professional Learning Teams, and continually strengthen our systems for intervention and extension. We work intentionally to ensure equitable access to grade-level learning and to close opportunity gaps so that every student has what they need to be successful.
As a middle school, we also know the importance of belonging and connection. Our students learn within grade-level teams and smaller communities that allow teachers to collaborate, integrate learning, and build meaningful relationships with students and families. Hands-on learning, technology, and opportunities for students to think independently and apply their learning are important parts of the Tolt experience.
Most importantly, we believe families and community are essential partners in helping our students succeed. We want Tolt to be a place where students feel a strong sense of belonging and where families feel welcomed, valued, and connected to our school.
If you have a question, would like to connect, or simply want to learn more about what is happening at Tolt, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to listen, answer questions, and connect with our families and community.
I’m grateful to be a part of the Tolt community and excited about all that we can accomplish together.
