A Message from Our Principal, Mr. Christian Barnes

Greetings Rome Middle School Staff, Students and Community Stakeholders,

I am delighted to be a part of the Rome Middle School Wolf Pack and serve as your new principal. Upon my recent visit, it was evident our school community has dedicated, talented members committed to doing what is in the best interest of our students. Together, we will continue to put students first at RMS and work diligently to ensure their success.

My professional background is rooted in education, leadership, and mentorship. For the past twenty-two years, I have worked in both private and public education as a leader, teacher, Magnet Coordinator, testing coordinator, and mentor. I look forward to using these collective experiences as your new instructional leader.

In addition to my professional achievements, my greatest accomplishment is my family. I am a husband to my loving and supportive wife, Faith Barnes, who is also an educator and a mother to three amazing boys and one girl, CJ (19), Caleb (16), Levi (13) and Hannah (11). As a parent, I always want what is best for my children and will work tirelessly to ensure your children have the best possible experiences at Rome Middle School.

I plan to work closely with my assistant principals and division personnel to ensure a smooth transition. During this time, I will continue to learn more about our school, community, and the unique needs of our students and staff. I am committed to embracing the positive traditions and practices that are already in place at RMS. My motto is, "Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours." I believe all children should receive an exemplary education in an environment that is safe and conducive to learning. Together we can help our children excel and provide them with an education that is second to none.

I am honored and humbled to serve as the proud new principal for Rome Middle School and I look forward to meeting our children, teachers, parents, and community members. My door is always open to you, and I sincerely welcome your input and support. I am excited about all we will accomplish together for our children and look forward to celebrating our collective success over the course of this school year.  Proud to be part of the pack!
