River Bend Middle

Principal’s Message
 

Greetings!

I am James Byrd, principal of River Bend Middle School.  I am excited for the opportunity to serve in the Bunker Hill feeder district.  As principal of RBMS, my goal is to work with staff members, students, and the community at large to prepare our young Pirates for their futures.  They will some day be Bunker Hill Bears, and we want them to have the knowledge and skillsets to be ready for that journey and for their future academic endeavors and careers beyond high school.

Middle school is an extremely important time in the lives of young people.  What direction their lives may take can be affected by numerous factors, but what happens at school can have a major impact.  I want students to have a great middle school experience where in addition to gaining content knowledge and academic skills, students start thinking about what their adult lives will look like.  I want students to have the opportunity to learn about how their interests can lead them to lucrative careers in their futures and for them to begin to figure out what steps they will need to be on the right paths.

I look forward to building partnerships with students' families and the community to make sure we are best serving our students and guiding them in the right direction.

Thank you, and Go, Pirates!

Warm regards,
James Byrd
