Principal Message

Dear Cupertino Middle School Community,

It is with great pride and excitement that I introduce myself as the new Principal of CMS! I am honored to join a school with such a rich tradition of academic excellence, community spirit, and student-centered learning.

As an educator and leader who deeply believes in the power of relationships and community, I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and joyful environment where all students can thrive. Our incredible staff is dedicated to nurturing curious minds, compassionate hearts, and confident learners prepared to lead and succeed in a dynamic world.

Together, we will continue to build a culture rooted in respect, innovation, and equity – where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.

I look forward to partnering with you in this exciting journey, and to have the Best Year Yet!

With gratitude and enthusiasm,

Dr. Alison Zuniga
