Principal's Message

Dear San Benancio Families,

Welcome to another exciting school year at San Benancio Middle School!

As I begin my 10th year as principal at SBMS, I continue to be grateful for the opportunity to serve such an incredible school community. Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of watching our students grow, celebrating their successes, and partnering with families who care deeply about their children's education. 

As many of you know, our district is experiencing change. While change often brings new opportunities, it also reinforces the importance of the strong foundation we have built here at San Benancio. Our commitment remains the same: providing a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student is encouraged to achieve their personal best.

This year, we are excited to welcome Ms. Kim Franks back to the SBMS family as our 6th grade teacher. Many of our students and families already know Ms. Franks through her many years serving our district, and we are thrilled to have her back on our campus in this role. 

One of the greatest strengths of San Benancio Middle School is the partnership between our staff, students, and families. Together, we create a school culture built on respect, responsibility, kindness, and high expectations. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to helping every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally while providing opportunities for leadership, athletics, extracurricular involvement, and meaningful connections.

I am also excited for another year of student leadership through ASB, spirited athletic competition, engaging classroom learning, and the many traditions that make SBMS such a special place. Whether your child is joining us for the first time or returning for another year, we look forward to helping them have a successful and memorable middle school experience.

Thank you for your continued trust, support, and partnership. Together, I know we will make this another outstanding year at San Benancio Middle School.

Go Oaks!

Sincerely,

Joe Carnazzo
Principal, San Benancio Middle School
