Argyle Middle School Principal

A MESSAGE FROM AMS PRINCIPAL Mr. Gibson

In more ways than one, the next school year will look very different for Argyle Middle School.

A coordinated effort to move campuses began April 26 with packing boxes arriving on campuses. That will be part of a large switching of campuses with Argyle High School that is needed due to our fast growth.

The middle school will be greatly impacted by this move. Over the course of a month in late April-May, we will have staff pack school items in preparation for a move to the current high school. These items will remain stored in the cafeteria for a few days while the high school teacher items will then be moved to the campus where we are currently housed.

In late May, after the high school items have been removed, the middle school teacher belongings will be moved into the appropriate classroom.

The move becomes further complicated by band instruments and athletic equipment. Those schedules will be different and will revolve around where the summer activities will take place. The current high school (on HWY 377) will house the summer activities while the new high school (Canyon Falls Drive) is finished this summer.

Painting of common areas (hallways, band halls, gyms) will take place in our new building as well this summer. We are also looking to paint in about 10 classrooms. This new paint should hopefully give the building a fresh new look. Between the relocation, camps taking place, and painting, this should be a very full summer for the middle school.

The start of the 2021-2022 school year will bring new amenities to the middle school as it takes over a former high school campus. We are cautiously looking forward to hosting parents in our new auditorium to talk about the middle school experience. We are also looking forward to resuming pep rallies for 2021-2022 in a gym that can accommodate our entire student population. Having access to an indoor facility will be beneficial for our students to utilize when outdoor conditions are not favorable. All of these items make the move something to look forward to as we leave behind a very challenging year. I can’t wait to see our students in our new building and with all the excitement of a new school year.

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE OUR STUDENTS IN OUR NEW BUILDING AND WITH ALL THE EXCITEMENT OF A NEW SCHOOL YEAR.
