Principal's Message

Dear Sawgrass Springs Middle School Families,
It is with immense pride and excitement that I share—Sawgrass Springs Middle has once again been rated an “A” school by the State of Florida. Way to go Gator Nation!!!!
This outstanding achievement is a true reflection of the dedication, resilience, and excellence demonstrated by our students, teachers, staff, and families. Earning an A rating is not just a letter, it represents countless hours of learning, teaching, growing, and working together as a community to support student success.
As we move forward, we remain committed to maintaining high standards, nurturing academic growth, and fostering a safe and supportive environment for every student. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for your continued partnership in making Sawgrass Springs Middle a place where excellence thrives.
Let’s continue to shine—together!
With pride,
Melinda Wessinger, Principal
