Welcome to El Cerrito Middle School

At El Cerrito Middle School, we believe every student deserves to feel safe, supported, challenged, and connected.

As a Redhawk, your child will be part of a community that values academic excellence, strong relationships, personal growth, and school pride. Our dedicated staff works collaboratively to ensure students are prepared not only for high school, but for future success in college, career, and life.

We are proud of our rich traditions, outstanding academic and extracurricular programs, competitive athletics, award-winning arts programs, and commitment to creating a positive school culture where every student can thrive.

Whether you are a new family joining us for the first time or a returning Redhawk family, we are excited to partner with you throughout your middle school journey.

Together, we will help every student soar.

SOAR: Safety • Ownership • Achievement • Respect
