Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year at Seventy-First Classical Middle School!
At Seventy-First Classical Middle School, we are proud to carry a long-standing tradition of excellence. For years, the Knights have set the standard in academics and the arts. This year, we are excited to continue building on that legacy under our school-wide theme:
“Anchored in Excellence.”
Being anchored reminds us that no matter what challenges or changes come our way, we remain grounded in our commitment to doing what is best for students. Excellence is not just a goal—it’s who we are and what we strive for daily as a school community.
As your Administrators, we believe strongly in transparency, open communication, and authentic relationships. Every decision we make is guided by our responsibility to serve each child entrusted to our care. We know that student success depends not only on high expectations and rigorous instruction, but also on the relationships we build—with students, families, staff, and the community.
At Seventy-First Classical, we:
Honor the history of academic and cultural excellence that defines our school.
Believe in working together as a team—teachers, staff, families, and community partners—to ensure every student reaches their potential.
Stay anchored in our mission to grow young leaders who are prepared for the future while grounded in strong character and values.
We are honored to serve as your Administrative team, and we look forward to partnering with you as we embark on another year of growth, learning, and excellence. Please know that our door is always open and that we value your voice, your input, and your support.

Together, let’s make 2025–2026 a year where our Knights shine brightly, anchored in excellence every step of the way.
