Cactus Middle School
Nancy Navoa: I am a parent of Angelo Navoa, a 6th grader. I am impressed with what my child is learning and being taught in school. There is a strict standard when it comes to discipline and academics. I once called called the office and able to talk to the Guidance Counselor who was very accomodating and pleasant over the phone. Thank you to all the teachers, Principal and the whole staff who are working hard to provide an excellent education and safe learning environment to our children.
