Welcome to Barrington Middle School. We’re glad you’re here—whether you’re joining our community for the first time or returning for another year.

At Barrington, our work is grounded in a few simple but powerful commitments: keeping students safe, providing high-quality instruction every day, and supporting the whole child. We want our students to feel known, valued, and challenged as they grow into confident, capable, and kind young people. These commitments guide our decisions and shape the culture of our school.

Barrington is a special place because of the people inside it. Our teachers are dedicated professionals who care deeply about student learning. Our support staff, student nutrition team, media center specialist, and custodial team all play an essential role in creating a school that is welcoming, organized, and ready for students to succeed. Every adult in this building shares a common purpose: doing what’s best for kids.

We also know that strong schools are built through strong partnerships with families. We value open communication and collaboration, and we welcome your involvement, questions, and ideas. Working together, we can ensure that every student has the support they need to thrive.

Thank you for being part of the Barrington community. I’m excited about the work ahead and the opportunity to serve our students and families.

Christian Finch, Principal
