School News and Information:
Parents,
TMS Families,
I hope all of you have a happy, healthy, and safe summer. Starting next school year, I will be moving to a new position with the district. I will be the Director of Human Resources. I have been the principal of Talawanda Middle School for the past 10 years. I have gotten to know many fantastic families in this role. I am going to truly miss my day-to-day interactions with the TMS students. TMS will be in good hands with Mrs. Aerni and the new principal Mr. Derickson. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories. Have a great summer. I will be around to see you next year.
Mike Malone
