Herbert Hoover Middle School

Hoover Middle School enjoys a reputation for academic, visual & performing arts excellence that spans over 50 years. Our staff works together to rededicate ourselves to this tradition, while also providing digital access to foster skills and programs that prepare our young people with the technological skills required of the 21st century. Ensuring access and equity for our families who have historically had the most difficulty integrating into our community is Hoover's priority.

Aptos Middle School

VISION: A premier performing arts middle school that prepares the Aptos Scholar to master academic standards, demonstrates 21st century skills, develops unique perspectives to navigate high school and ultimately the world with a sense of purpose, while upholding the Tiger Values.
