Our School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to Gayle Sloan Middle School!  It’s GAME ON for the 2025-2026 School year and we are truly excited to witness all Seagulls LEVEL UP THEIR LEADERSHIP.  This year our campus enters its second year as Gayle Sloan Middle School and the Leader in Me initiative.  All members of the GSMS Faculty and Staff are ready to meet our Seagulls where they are, challenging them to rise to the next level, expanding their leadership practices, and advancing academic achievement.  We therefore invite you to partner with us as we embark on this new and successful school year, making all goals possible.  When the student, the school, and the student’s caregiver(s) collectively share in the responsibility of the educational experience, it generates positive growth and vastly increases the likelihood for strong character development for each pupil.  Parental/ caregiver involvement is an integral part of any student’s success, and it is for this reason that we encourage you to take advantage of the many partnership opportunities we offer on our campus.   

At GSMS, we believe in providing educational experiences that challenge and inspire the WHOLE child. Our dedicated faculty, staff, and administration hold high expectations not only for our precious students, but for ourselves as well.  This year, our school will continue to dive deeper into the implementation of the Leader in Me initiative, which emerges largely from Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The primary takeaway when applied to education is the encouragement it provides to all students and staff members to rise to the occasion and strive to be leaders.  For this reason, our goal is to foster a campus climate and culture where all stakeholders have a voice, and consequently, thrive as leaders.

Our Seagull Family looks forward to another amazing school year where it’s GAME ON and all are challenged to LEVEL UP!

Your partner in education,

Amanda Keller, Principal
