Meet Our Principal
I'm excited to begin my first year at MVMS and to join this amazing school community. I already feel the enthusiasm and commitment that make this such a great place to learn and grow.
Middle school is a time of exploration and new opportunities, and I look forward to supporting our students as they challenge themselves, build confidence, and create lasting memories. These formative years are filled with growth—academically, socially, and emotionally—and it's an honor to be part of your child's journey.
I'm eager to work alongside our dedicated staff, engaged families, and motivated students to make this a successful and rewarding year for all. Together, we will create a positive school culture where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions, ideas, or concerns. I'm here to support you and your student.
Best wishes,
Richard Kale, Mountain Vista Middle School Principal
