To CMS Families,

I hope everyone is looking forward to the 2025-2026 school year.  I am honored to serve the community as the principal of Caroline Middle School this school year. The mission for CMS is for the faculty and staff to provide engaging academic experiences in the classroom and a competitive atmosphere in extracurriculars so all Eagles will prove to be Committed, Motivated, and Successful as they grow to be both High School Ready Learners and Life Ready Adults. My job as the principal is to ensure our staff and students are supported to meet this mission. 

As an instructional leader and father of three, I, along with the Eagle faculty & staff, recognize the necessity for CMS families to feel supported.  The faculty and staff at Caroline Middle School will be here to aid parents and families in supporting the success of their children.  I believe that quality student learning is essential to preparing students for life and this high quality of learning is enhanced through building and sustaining an open, honest, and productive partnership with the families of our students. Families should not hesitate to reach out to faculty and staff because we are here to help enhance the education of all students at CMS.

Not only do I want all Eagles to be successful in the classroom, but I also want every CMS Eagle to be a prepared high school student and a life-ready adult. As we head into the new year, I expect all Eagles to be Committed, Motivated, and Successful. Do not hesitate to email me at jjust@ccps.us or call me at (804) 633.6561 ext. 4013 if you have questions or concerns. I appreciate your time and thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Joshua Just

Principal
