Principal’s Hello<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello, Golden Eagle families!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finished another strong week here at Pacific Crest Middle School. We celebrated our singers and musicians at our winter concert, opened our Gold Mine store for the second time, completed a successful fundraiser, hosted an exchange student from Japan, and watched exciting World Cup action on the big screen during lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fun, dynamic place to be every day. I hope your student feels the same!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warmly, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sean<\/p>\n\n\n\n
