Principal's Message

Dear Middle School Families, 
Welcome to another exciting year at Onondaga Hill Middle School! As your principal, I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to each of you as valued members of our school community. Whether you are returning families or joining us for the first time, we are delighted to have you with us for the exciting journey of Middle School. 

At OHMS, we are committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity, equity, and academic excellence. We strive to educate, nurture, and support every student in their journey toward personal and academic growth. We believe that every student brings a unique perspective and strength to our community, and it is through embracing our diversity that we create a richer learning environment for all. 

In our commitment to equity, we prioritize fairness, respect, and understanding among all members of our school family. All of us work collectively to create an environment where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Our dedicated team of educators and staff work to provide a safe, supportive, and inspiring atmosphere where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. 

As partners in your child's education, we encourage open communication, collaboration, and active involvement in school life. Together, we can ensure that each student receives the support and resources they need to succeed. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We look forward to a year filled with growth, discovery, and achievements. 

Warm regards, 
Kathryn Ta
