Welcome to Fort Settlement Middle School- Principals Welcome Message

Welcome to Fort Settlement Middle School! I am Dr. Williams, the principal.  This is the best school on the planet!  When FSMS opened in 2001 as a small neighborhood school, we never imagined a day like today with an enrollment of close to 1,400 students in grades sixth through eighth. Our international student population reflects the ethnic background of our community. Since opening our doors, Fort Settlement Middle School has provided outstanding educational opportunities for our students. We are committed to meeting the needs of all of our students by fostering a community of academic excellence and social responsibility. We believe that ALL students can learn at high levels and are committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure we meet the needs of our students.

In 2007, FSMS was named a National Blue Ribbon school. In 2012, 2015, and 2020 we received the distinction of State School of Character.  In 2020 we were also named a National School of Character.  Another distinction we are proud to have received is being named as a 2020 School to Watch. While our boundaries and our population have changed since opening 20 years ago, one thing that has not wavered is our endeavor to maintain high expectations and to emphasize strong character among all associated with our school. Our students enter Fort Settlement Middle School ready to learn and they exit ready to lead. 

We encourage students to be involved in our school and the community to grow as leaders of tomorrow.

We are FALCON proud!

Remember, Falcons don’t just fly…We SOAR!!!
