Dakota Middle School is a special place where students and staff work together to learn, grow, and excel both socially and academically. Our staff continues to learn new techniques, strategies, and information that supports all students. We consider ourselves to be lifelong learners, and hope to impart that to our students as well. As a staff we know that the support system at home is equally critical in the success of our students, so thank you for being on this journey with us!

What's the best part about being the Principal?

The best part of being the principal at Dakota is working with everyone. As a principal, you work with all students, staff, and families, which is a great experience. 

We are excited to share with you what we do each day at Dakota to move students forward in their life. We continue to work with our staff to inspire, challenge, and empower students to meet their fullest potential. 

We hope that you find the information on our web page helpful, but please reach out with any questions you may have! If you wish to learn more about Dakota Middle School, please contact me at your convenience. I can be reached by email or by phone, (507) 328-4530.
