Principal's Message

It is an absolute privilege to continue serving the Tuffree Middle School community as Principal. Serving as Assistant Principal at TMS for the past four years has provided me with a keen sense of what our community needs and deserves. I am proud of the committed work that is done day in and day out at Tuffree, and I am dedicated to continuing our tradition of excellence.

I have served in various capacities in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District since 2008. Starting my career at Bernardo Yorba Middle School, I taught there for twelve years prior to moving to Tuffree as Assistant Principal. It became clear from year one, that I was meant to be at Tuffree and serve our community with my whole heart.

I believe that every student can be successful. How that is defined may look different for each child, and how we get them there takes a village. I look forward to partnering with you to provide the most meaningful and positive middle school experience we can for your students. Tuffree has established a tremendous foundation, and I am humbled to work alongside our staff, students, and community as we LEVEL UP in the future. GO FALCONS!!!

Respectfully,

Sarah Barton

Principal
