Mrs. Galataud, Principal

Dear Nellie Coffman Middle School Parents, Students, and Community, 

It is my sincere pleasure and honor to be able to serve our school community in this role as the Principal at Nellie Coffman Middle School.  

It is a privilege to lead our site’s scholars in collaboration with the dedicated teachers and support staff at Nellie Coffman Middle School as we continue to develop and strengthen programs and enhance our traditions in order to achieve student success. I aim to provide a supportive climate and culture at Nellie Coffman that promotes safety, accountability, equity, access, and academic achievement. 

This year, we bring to you an emphasis on high school readiness through our Quintessential Cougar initiative. We want students and parents to understand why middle school matters and how to help best prepare students for the rigors of high school in the coming years. This starts now in grades 6-8!  Our advisory teachers will help students set personalized goals to reach their full potential. Students will get to choose 2 areas to help them become high school ready. 

I look forward to interacting with all of you and working in partnership to make our middle school one that meets the needs of all young adolescents.

Educationally Yours,

Mrs. Melissa Galataud

Principal Nellie N. Coffman Middle School
