Yoder_Dean.PNGDear Pearson Families and Community,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Pearson Middle School—our fifth year of learning, growing, and soaring together as “The One & Only Pearson!”

Five years ago, we opened our doors with a bold vision: to create a school grounded in academic excellence, authentic relationships, community pride, and a belief that every student can thrive. Today, that vision continues to guide our journey—driven by our motto, “Aim High, Fly Higher,” and our mission: To Connect. To Empower. To Succeed.

At Pearson, we believe that meaningful connections build trust, empowerment fuels confidence, and success follows when students are supported, challenged, and inspired. This year marks a significant milestone, and we are more committed than ever to lifting each other higher—academically, socially, and emotionally.

You’ll see our Pearson spirit in action through:

- Rigorous, engaging instruction designed to meet the needs of all learners

- A school culture rooted in respect, empathy, and strong relationships

- Dynamic community partnerships and programs that extend learning beyond the classroom

- A focus on continuous growth, innovation, and student success at every level

As we celebrate five years of excellence, we do so with deep gratitude—for your trust, partnership, and belief in what we’re building together. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or are joining the Pearson family for the first time, you are part of a legacy—and a future—that continues to soar.

Here’s to another year filled with purpose, pride, and limitless possibilities.

With Pilot Pride,

Principal Yoder

It is with great excitement and optimism that I welcome you to a new school year filled with opportunities for growth, connection, and collaboration. Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are so glad you're part of our school family.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to student growth—academically, socially, and emotionally. Our mission continues to be creating an environment where each child is known, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential. Every classroom, hallway, and learning space will be filled with experiences designed to inspire curiosity, encourage resilience, and support meaningful achievement.

We believe that strong relationships are the foundation of a successful school. As we enter this fifth year together, our focus remains on building trusting partnerships between students, staff, families, and the wider community. When students feel connected and supported, they thrive—and that is our shared goal: To Connect. To Empower. To Succeed.

We also know that the best outcomes happen when we work together. The collaboration between home and school is essential to every student’s success. As educators, we are dedicated to listening, learning, and growing alongside our families and students. We encourage open communication, shared celebrations, and mutual support throughout the year.

Thank you for being an essential part of our journey. We look forward to a fantastic school year ahead—one that reflects our shared commitment to excellence, unity, and student success.

Here’s to an inspiring and rewarding year 5 at Pearson, where we Aim High, Fly Higher!

Sincerely,
