Spokane Middle School

My name is Sarah Yocum, and I am honored to serve as the principal at SMS. I’m excited to build strong relationships within our community and continue the great tradition of excellence that defines Spokane.

At SMS, we live by the values of Be Ready, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful—both in and out of the classroom. These expectations are at the heart of everything we do and help create a positive, supportive environment where all students can grow and thrive.

We are Spokane is more than a slogan—it’s who we are. It takes all of us working together to make this school a place where students feel valued, supported, and inspired. Thank you for partnering with us to make this the best school year yet!

 Our staff is filled with incredible educators who are dedicated to helping each student succeed—not just academically, but as ready, responsible, and respectful individuals.We can't wait to partner with you to make this year the best year yet!

Go Owls!
