Welcome to all our new Marina Middle School families
Welcome to Marina Middle School home of the Marina Penguins. We are excited to meet you and have you join our community.
What makes Marina special? We are focused on creating a positive learning environment for students and teachers alike. We take time to listen. We treat each other with kindness. We have high academic expectations. We are all learners.
Marina is recognized as a Common Sense Media School
Marina Librarian Donna Campbell works hard to share the Common Sense Media curriculum with students, focusing on on-line safety, digital foot prints, using true research tools and validated websites. Students regularly visit the library during Language Arts and use her dedicated set of touch-screen Chromebooks to practice what is being taught.
Marina Beacon Center
The Marina Beacon Center is involved in almost every aspect of daily life at our school. From lunch time clubs, to helping plan events to academic support, family engagement and of course our great afterschool program. Plus, Power Scholars Academy over the summer.
Marina Staff Video: Don't Forget to Dance!...Dance!...Dance!
Our super talented (and a bit crazy) Marina teachers, staff and administrators showing their dancing (and lip synching) skills! No better way to go through the day then to include a few dance moves. Right?
We hear tweets
Thank you to Superintendent Matthews for recognizing the hard work the staff and students put in every day to create this special learning environment.

About Marina Middle School
Marina Middle School is a supportive, challenging and empowering learning community. Starting in 1936, the school continues to grow and flourish through each iteration.
We are building a community of students in whom we value integrity, nurture creativity, place respect for each other as a priority, foster curiosity, promote responsibility and leadership, appreciate cultural differences and feel safe to be who we are on the inside.
Our challenge and our strength is to maintain a sense of community at all times while we build capacity in our students, in each other and in our programs. We are dedicated to academic success through rigorous and thoughtful instruction, providing resources for teacher development and building on needs.
We have 850 students taking Math, English, Science, Social Studies, PE, Advisory and one of the following options: band, orchestra, art, drama, computer science coding, journalism, AVID, Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic, or Spanish. In addition, we are partnered with the Beacon after-school program and a number of other community based organizations who provide opportunities for our students that range from hiking, camping and sailing, music and dance events to clubs that meet at lunch.
We are passionate about supporting the individual educational journeys of all our students as we look toward the future, guided by the comprehensive strategic plan of the San Francisco Unified School District’s (SFUSD) Vision 2025. We want every child to be part of the magic of learning at Marina Middle School. Marina Middle School is an incredible place!!
