Dr. Nikki Bullington | Principal

This year, we’ll continue building strong connections that honor the proud traditions of CMS while embracing fresh ideas that prepare us for the future. At CMS, being a General means showing our P.R.I.D.E.—being Positive, Respectful, showing Integrity, being Dedicated, and practicing Empathy in all we do.

We are reinstating our Principal’s Council this year to ensure student voice is not only heard but valued, helping our students develop the leadership skills needed to create positive change. We will also focus on remediation and enrichment during our daily HR class, ensuring every student has the tools and support needed to give them the best chance for success. In addition, we will continue celebrating student achievement during our quarterly Community Days, moments where we come together to recognize accomplishments and strengthen our school spirit.

To stay even more connected, I’ve created a mobile office on a cart that I’ll use at least three days each week, giving me more opportunities to interact with students and staff during instructional time and to help set the tone for a strong, positive culture. I am blessed to work with a dedicated, hardworking staff who bring energy, care, and expertise to our classrooms every single day.

Our theme for this year is Start Strong, Finish Stronger—and together, we will create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive school where every student feels valued and challenged to grow. Together, we will inspire lifelong learners and leaders. Together, we will celebrate the hard work and achievements of our students and staff.

At CMS, we are Generals—and our strength is in our unity!
