Principals Message - Groton Public Schools

Welcome to Groton Middle School!

Dear Groton Middle School Families,

I am pleased to welcome you to Groton Middle School! Our school is a state of the art facility. We have a top notch academic program with a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) magnet theme. Our faculty and staff strive to create a welcoming, safe and intellectually rigorous environment to foster open minded, inquiring, caring, hardworking students who value perspectives of others. This is the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) way, and we are working to become a fully accredited MYP school later this year.

While we have many challenges ahead of us as we begin this new journey together, I am excited and full of hope for the future of our students and our school. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Peter Bass

Principal
