Message from the Principal

Welcome to Denison Middle School. We house grades 6-8 and have a student enrollment around 490 students. We opened the doors to our beautiful facility on the north edge of town in 2008. At DMS we are proud to boast about our linguistically and ethnically diverse population. Our students come to us from a number of locations around the globe and speak many different languages.  At school our students have the opportunity to be involved in many programs including fine arts productions, Project Lead the Way, Ringneck Outdoor Club, Science Bound, and Character Council. Our Monarch athletic teams participate in competitions in football, volleyball, cross country, basketball, wrestling, and track and field. Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and GO MONARCHS!!
