Meet Our Principal
Welcome to Griffiths Middle School!
On behalf of the entire Griffiths Middle School staff, I am excited to welcome you to our exceptional school family. With years of experience serving both middle and high school students, I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where every student feels supported, challenged, and inspired to succeed.
At Griffiths, we believe in the power of education to transform lives, and we are dedicated to creating a space where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our core belief, “Where Students Belong, Grow, and Achieve,” reflects our commitment to ensuring that every student feels welcome, empowered, and equipped to reach their full potential.
Whether it’s in the classroom, on the sports field, or in one of our many extracurricular activities, we offer a variety of opportunities for students to develop skills that will serve them well beyond their time here. As a team of dedicated educators, staff, and families, we work together to build an inclusive and positive environment where all students can achieve their goals.
I am honored to lead Griffiths Middle School, and I look forward to partnering with you to make this year a successful and memorable one for your child.
Let’s make Griffiths a place where all students know they belong, can grow, and will achieve!
Warmly,
Vanessa Bedolla, Ed.D.
