Mr. Simpson's page
I personally want to welcome all students and families to the 2024-2025 school year. I am so lucky to lead Penn Middle School, there is NOTHING I would rather do as a profession. My teachers and your children come together daily and make incredible things happen when learning. As I circulate the building, I am in awe of this process. Please know that EVERY child in Penn Middle School is very important to me. I am ready to listen to your children, my teachers, and you to make the learning environment at Penn Middle the best it can be.
