Gale Ranch Middle School opened August 25, 2008 with the mission of preparing our students to excel in all areas. We consistently monitor and gauge our effectiveness in this endeavor and adjust when necessary. We firmly believe that we learn from our mistakes and provide a safe environment where kids can learn, fail, persevere and succeed. In the 2012/2013 school year we received the honor of being a California Distinguished School and during the 14/15 school year we were named a California Golden Ribbon school. Our staff, students and parent community work very hard to achieve not only academic excellence but overall good citizenship though our active character building activities and programs.
