Daniel Webster Middle Home

Mission

Daniel Webster Middle School and S.T.E.A.M. Magnet offers opportunities for applied learning based on the principles of the 4 C’s: creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication.  We foster a teaching and learning environment that values respect, responsibility, honesty, safety, life-long learning, and an appreciation for one another.  We encourage faculty, staff, and students to honor our shared humanity which is central to our inclusive and productive school community. Our academic programs build upon key concepts by continuing to provide the foundation necessary for success in both high school and the world of college and career. We focus both on the need for students to connect knowledge between all disciplines and to cultivate their interests in academics and future careers. Upon culmination, our students stand ready to engage in the prospect of a future more promising and fulfilling. 
 

Principal’s Message

Greetings Daniel Webster Middle School Families,
 
I hope you have had a change to recharge, relax and read a good book this summer. I am honored and humbled of my return back to Daniel Webster as your 2024-2025 Daniel Webster Middle School Principal. Attendance, Wellness and Instruction are very imperative for all students. LAUSD District Strategic Plan will continue to be implemented for student success. Please see the link to review our district strategic plan: STRATEGIC PLAN 2022-2026  The first day of the new school year begins on Monday, August 12, 2024. All Daniel Webster stakeholders are looking forward to a successful year of learning, growing and collaboration. Our Paxton- Patterson Lab continues to expand and supports our STEAM curriculum. Daniel Webster continues to explore and embrace the French Academy. We continue the first on-site middle school French Dual Language Program in all of LAUSD!
 
I would also like to take this time to welcome to all new and returning students and families! I am excited and looking forward to seeing you all this August 12th at 8 am. It is imperative that our students are at school on time with a charged device daily. Please feel free to contact me @ 310-235-4600 or by email at [email protected]. I am available for comments, suggestions and collaboration. Coffee with the Principal will continue to be monthly for parents, guardians and the community to support collaboration and information from our Every School Safe Platform. Webster students and families, as we prepare to return back to school, I would like to emphasize the importance of cultivating joy and the use of best educational practices for student success. We will work diligently and collaboratively with all families to obtain a safe and conducive environment for all learners. Continue to enjoy the remainder of your summer break and indulge a good book your spare time. Welcome Senator Owls!
