Dear SAINTS Families,

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! My entire career has been spent serving students at the middle level. The middle years are an exciting time when children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning.

We know that you may have many questions about the upcoming school year. We have been planning all summer to ensure that our students will be safe whenever they return to campus. We will continue to provide an environment that promotes excellence in academics and the arts, while we build character. We will maintain an environment that’s safe and nurturing, and we will set high expectations for learning that will inspire our students to be life-long learners that will thrive in the twenty-first century.

The vision of St. Andrews Middle School states:

St. Andrews Middle School, in collaboration with an engaged community, is committed to ensuring that each learner achieves his/her potential in a safe, caring, academically challenging and diverse learning environment that will develop productive citizens for a changing world. Parents and community members, we need your support in order to make this happen. Our Motto states: At St. Andrews Middle School, Saints S.O.A.R.

Surpass Expectations

Optimize Learning Opportunities

Achieve Success

Respect Everyone

Summer is almost over, but I hope you are able to visit a new place or do something that was memorable with family and friends. Before you know it, August 16th will be here and school will begin. It is my honor to serve as principal of St. Andrews Middle School. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me, and know that my door is always open. I can be reached by email at Jametta.hodges-stewa@richlandone.org, or by phone at 803.731.8910.

Sincerely,

 Mrs. Jametta Hodges-Stewart

Principal
