Dear GMSN Families, 

Welcome to Geneva Middle School North!
 
GMSN staff and administrative team strive to assist the students to reach their highest potential in their academics, extra-curricular activities and athletics.  The students of GMSN are generally high performing and come each day excited to learn. Our teachers work collaboratively in professional learning communities to help guide their instructional practices. The focus here at GMSN is student-centered while striving to “do what is in the best interest of each student."

GMSN serves 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, with approximately 200 students in each grade level within the Geneva CUSD 304 boundaries. In addition to the core classes consisting of science, social studies, math, and language arts, students participate in physical education and exploratory classes such as art, Spanish, German, French, family and consumer science, technology education, art and general music. Also, GMSN has several students participating in the music program, which includes band, choir, and orchestra.  Many extracurricular activities are also offered consisting of a variety of athletic sports teams, clubs, drama, and intramurals.

By working collaboratively with teacher, parents and students our school provides a great education for the students as we prepare them for high school. 

Kind regards,
Mr. Dave Carli, Principal
