POCOMOKE MIDDLE SCHOOL

We had such a great time hitting the road for the Pocomoke City Schools Bus Tour for our new teachers! It was an incredible opportunity to connect with our families, meet members of our community, and celebrate the start of another exciting school year. We were especially excited to give away more than 300 book bags filled with school supplies to local families! 🎒✏️📓 We are so grateful to everyone who came out and helped make the day such a success. A HUGE shoutout to the Pocomoke High School Drumline for bringing the energy and keeping us moving with some amazing music! 🥁🔥 This is what being a Warrior community is all about—showing up, giving back, and starting the school year together! We can’t wait to welcome our students back! 💙💛

Your story begins here! ✨

As we get ready for another exciting school year at Pocomoke Middle School, I wanted to share a few books from my summer reading list! Every story has something to teach us—about leadership, perseverance, relationships, success, and the power of believing in ourselves.
My goal this summer is simple: keep learning, keep growing, and keep reading! 📖

I hope our students and families will find a book that sparks their curiosity and gives them something to think about. Whether you read for 10 minutes or 100 pages, every page counts!

📚 What’s on your summer reading list? Share your favorite book with us in the comments!

Every Story Matters. Every Child Belongs. 💙💛

As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, we're excited to highlight schools welcoming new members to their administrative teams.

Please join us in welcoming the Pocomoke Middle School leadership team! Joseph Stigler returns as principal, and Elizabeth Berry returns as assistant principal. They are joined by Kristin Cashman, who is new to the Pocomoke Middle School administrative team as assistant principal.

We look forward to another great year of learning, growth, and success for the Pocomoke Middle School community! #WeAreWorcester

☀️📚 Summer Academy – Week 4 Highlights! 📚☀️

Week 4 at Pocomoke Middle School Summer Academy was filled with learning, laughter, and hands-on fun! Our students explored the impact of fossil fuel mining by mining chocolate chips from cookies, stayed active with a little exercise, sharpened their math skills with fraction activities, and participated in some exciting games of BINGO! 🍪⛏️➗🏃‍♂️🎉

The best part? Watching our students and teachers learn together, build relationships, and make lasting memories each day. We can't wait to see what next week brings! 💙💛

What an incredible way to wrap up the week! Students from Berlin Intermediate School, Snow Hill Middle School, and Pocomoke Middle School showcased everything they learned during the Crescendo Summer Camp with Symphony 21 at their culminating performance.

Throughout the camp, students explored the world of music by learning to play the acoustic violin while also gaining hands-on experience with sound and lighting engineering. Their hard work, creativity, and confidence were on full display!

A special thank you to the Worcester County Education Foundation for generously funding this enriching opportunity for our students. #WeAreWorcester

🌊🦋🦀 What an amazing day of learning for our Pocomoke Middle School 6th grade students at Assateague Island! Students participated in a variety of hands-on environmental science activities, including kayaking, seining, crabbing, and studying migratory monarch butterflies. They also learned about living shorelines and how these natural systems help protect coastal areas from erosion while supporting local wildlife and habitats. Experiences like these bring classroom learning to life and inspire our students to become future stewards of the environment. We are proud of their curiosity, engagement, and enthusiasm throughout the day! A special shoutout and thank you to National Park Service for hosting us and providing such an incredible educational experience. We appreciate the opportunity for our students to learn in one of our nation’s most beautiful outdoor classrooms.
