Principal's Message

Welcome to Mariner Middle School, Home of the Mighty Tritons!   Our beautiful campus is situated near the corner of Chiquita and Tropicana Boulevards, directly adjacent to the NW Regional Library and Mariner High School. Our location provides excellent opportunities for our students to participate in activities and events beyond our school.

 

Our students engage with a rigorous, interdisciplinary curriculum centered on Florida's BEST Standards.  In addition to three years of core programming, students may elect to study a foreign language, visual arts, performing arts, robotics, coding, physical education, or horticulture/culinary arts.  Our horticulture/culinary arts program focuses on seed-to-table learning, and our band earned straight superior ratings the sixth year in a row at the 2025 Music Performance Assessment.

 

For students seeking an academic challenge, we offer four courses bearing high school credit (Algebra I Honors, Geometry Honors, Leadership 1, and Spanish I). Our ATLAS program works is a program for gifted and high-achieving Tritons, and 100% of last year's 8th Grade ATLAS designees earned spots at competitive high school programs such as IB and AICE. 

 

We have fun, too! Mariner Middle offers dozens of sports, clubs and academic competitions--we have something to offer every learner! 

 

Parents and community members, we would like to partner with you:

*Join our School Advisory Council to advise and support schoolwide programs!
*Join our Parent Teacher Organization to celebrate students and staff!
*Local businesses:  Become a community partner with Mariner Middle School.  We will proudly display our partnership on a fence sign in front of our campus.

 

We are looking forward to an excellent school year!  In the meantime, check our website for supply lists, dress code, upcoming events, and more.  We will be updating our site throughout the school year.
