Students and Parents of Arnall Middle School,

I would like to warmly welcome you to Arnall Middle School. The upcoming school year is going to be another great year! I am so thankful to be allowed to work alongside such a talented and caring group of teachers, administrators, and staff members. I have worked in the Coweta County School System for 30 years. I began my career at Newnan High School teaching mathematics and I then served as Assistant Principal here at Arnall before transferring to East Coweta High School as Assistant Principal. This will be my 7th year serving as Principal of Arnall Middle School. Arnall is an awesome place to work and learn. I want you to know that I am here to assist each of you through your Middle School years.

At Arnall, we are committed to providing each student with opportunities to learn and grow as individuals. Students will be exposed to academically challenging, relevant and interesting coursework that will prepare them for High School and beyond. Enrichment courses include visual arts, performing arts, physical education, Spanish, business and computer science as well as STEM Lab. Additionally, we offer students a wide range of clubs and athletic opportunities so that they can explore a variety of interests.

We firmly believe that strong positive relationships are essential to the success of our students. As we begin this school year, I want to encourage all students to be involved, work hard, be respectful, ask for help when you need it, make new friends and have fun! Your teachers are here to provide you with the tools you need for success. I also want to encourage parents to remain involved with your child’s education. Your middle school student needs support and positive encouragement along the way. Please communicate with administration, counselors, and teachers often and I invite parents to visit the school and classrooms regularly. As we work together, our students will achieve greatness and always remember, at Arnall Middle School, we are United in Excellence!

Do not hesitate to contact me with questions, concerns or input at any time.

Yours in service,

Patrick Sullivan
