We are in need of spring coaches!

We are excited to share that we are looking to start a PTA at Rochester Middle School. A strong PTA helps build connection, support school initiatives, and strengthen partnerships between families and our school community.
At this time, we are seeking four interested individuals who would be willing to help begin this process and serve as founding members.
If you are interested, please call the school or email Principal DeTroia directly.
We look forward to building this together and strengthening our RMS community!
