Welcome to Dawes Middle School, home of the Diamondbacks!

It is my honor and privilege to serve the Dawes community as principal. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing a supportive and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

At Dawes, we CARE about all voices, individuals, and identities. We LEARN to be college and career ready. We HOPE for continuous learning and future success. Our collaborative educators believe in high expectations for every student, not only in academics, but also in their behavior and effort. We are here to support every student in meeting these expectations and celebrating their successes along the way.

-Nancy Salsman, Principal of Dawes Middle School
