Welcome to the inaugural year of Watson Mountain Middle School, home of the Yetis! We work to inspire our students to leave their PRINT and be legendary!

On behalf of our entire staff, we feel incredibly fortunate to lead our students as they enter their middle school years. We know how formative middle school is for your child, and our staff members are uniquely skilled to guide them along their intellectual and social development. 

Beyond the exceptional education and learning experiences we expect to provide each student, we aim to support our themin creating a positive PRINT within themselves and in our community. These attributes are:

• Proactive

• Resilient

• Inquisitive

• Noble

• Team-Oriented   

 My entire career has been dedicated to middle school education. I have had the privilege of working in a variety of remarkably successful middle schools in Michigan, Khartoum, Sudan, Fairfax County, and the last eight years in the county I call home, Loudoun County.

Mrs. Oliver is ecstatic to be an assistant principal at Watson Mountain Middle School! Prior to her time as AP at J.L.
