A Message from the Principal

      Kids are number one at Coronado Middle School in the Kansas City Kansas School District! Coronado Middle School in Wyandotte County is located a few miles west of Interstate 635. The Coronado Middle School Vision is “To educate students to be lifelong learners.” With a dedicated, caring and involved administrative team, staff, parents and community, a commitment is made to provide an enriching and rigorous educational experience for every student!

     When visitors enter the Coronado campus, they soon realize they have come to a special place. They are attracted to the beautiful landscape with grass, trees, and sitting benches for our students. Upon entering the building, visitors enter a commons area that has a courtyard with flowers and sitting areas for students and staff members. Visitors walk in through a hallway art gallery that displays a promenade of student’s art work and pictures of students involved in extra-curricular activities.

     At Coronado Middle School, students are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities…from Student Government, the Debate Team to Robotics Club or Athletic teams. Students are offered classes in Physical Education, Art, Spanish, Vocal and Instrumental Music. In addition to these, classes are also offered in cooking healthy meals/teen living; and writing and thinking cross the curriculum.

     In the hall, observers will see classrooms of heterogeneous groups of students actively participating in learning. Proceeding further, visitors are made aware of our commitment to our students’ education. Visitors comment on the sense of purpose our students display as active, involved learners. Quality student work is displayed in every classroom as a source of great pride and accomplishment. The visitors have observed what can be described simply as a rich academic environment and a great place to learn for all students.
