Welcome to a new year at Rancho Milpitas Middle School. I am excited and honored to be serving as your principal. I am confident that with a strong school-home partnership, all of our students can achieve success.

Our staff is dedicated to ensuring that we provide your students the opportunity to succeed and compete globally.  Our mission focuses on empowering students to develop strong communication and collaboration skills and to be confident, critical, and creative thinkers.  It is important that our students see themselves as scholars and lifelong learners, that they have the ability to contribute positively to our society, and that they are custodians of their community in the process.

We value our students' diversity.  The strength of our cultural differences is an asset that we utilize to educate the child.  We are aware of the importance of a culturally relevant curriculum and lesson delivery strategies that are not only rigorous but also engaging in order to ensure that our students' academic and emotional needs are met.

I look forward to our partnership and serving this community in the years to come.

Dr. Vern Caruz, Principal
