Mrs. Patricia Nelson

     It is my pleasure to welcome you to Ava Middle School.  The middle school years present a time for your child to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.  It is our goal to support them in becoming critical thinkers capable of solving problems and making choices that have a positive impact.  Our school offers a challenging curriculum that provides opportunities for students to learn and grow in a safe, positive environment.

     I am honored to be able to serve my community as principal.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions concerning your child's educational experience.

Mr. Riley Jenkins

     As Middle School Assistant Principal, I hope to serve, affirm, and encourage staff and students to be at their best now and well into the future. I am excited to mentor and continue learning from all those at Ava R-1. Go Bears!
