Principal’s Message

Dear Creekside Middle School Families, 

Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year! Our staff is looking forward to meeting our new students and reconnecting with our returning Wildcats.

As a California Distinguished School and a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School, we proudly continue our mission of "cultivating academic excellence, equity, and responsibility for all." We are excited to partner with you this year to support your child in their middle school journey. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to inspiring and guiding each student toward personal growth and academic achievement. We strive to get to know our students, connect with them, and support their interests. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment where students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and make the most of their middle school experience.

Parents, students, and community members are a vital part of the team. We look forward to open communication as we work toward our goal of providing a challenging, responsive, and positive learning experience for our students. I encourage you to participate in your child’s learning and experience throughout this school year, as your involvement greatly contributes to their success. Our staff is committed to forming a strong partnership with you.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact our office at (510) 247-0665 or email me. I truly believe that Creekside is an outstanding place of learning because of our dedicated and talented students, staff, and families. Thank you for your support and partnership! 

Respectfully yours, 

Susan Shih
