Pursuing Excellence in Everything

Dear Parents, Students, and Friends,
I take this opportunity to welcome you to Forest Hills Middle School. I look forward to getting to know all of you this school year which surely promises to bring with it many new challenges and experiences. Forest Hills enjoys a rich history of academic excellence and I am honored to be principal of this school.
My goal is to provide the leadership that will facilitate a school environment that differentiates instruction to meet the needs of every student to the best of our ability. I pledge to work in concert with parents, students, teachers, support staff, and the community throughout the coming year to provide educational programs that are academically challenging and engaging to all. I feel confident that together we can supply the essentials and encouragement our children need to become successful learners.
Supporting our children to do well at school, and in their lives, is at the center of our work here at Forest Hills Middle School and I am excited to be a part of it. Please feel free to call me or stop by for a visit. If you have questions or concerns, contact me at school at 252-399-7913.
Sincerely,
Joyce Best
