Marina Middle School

Congratulations to our Class of 2026 as they continue their educational journey. Once a Penguin, Always a Penguin! 

Here are some words from 8th grade Counselor, Mr. Jones. 
"I am profoundly proud of every graduate — for their growth, their resilience, and the legacy they leave behind at Marina. It has been my absolute honor to walk alongside your graduates this year as they transition into high school. With the humblest and deepest gratitude, thank you for allowing me to be a part of their journey."

We are excited to welcome new students and families joining Marina for the 2026–2027 school year! Our mission is to Love, Challenge, and Equip every student to become a compassionate global leader.

At Marina, students benefit from strong academics, engaging lunch clubs, and many opportunities to learn, grow, and get involved.

We are looking for family volunteers to help with schedule distribution and set up for the first day of school on August 17, 2026. If you are available and interested, please email Community School Coordinator, Virginia, at foxtonv@sfusd.edu.
