Dear OMS Families,

My name is Carol Hayes, and I am incredibly proud to serve as the principal of Osborn Middle School. Your decision to entrust your children’s education to OMS is both an honor and a privilege and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to partner with you in their learning journey. It is my firm belief that education is a collaborative effort involving students, families and educators working together. Your active involvement in your child's education and your support for our school community truly make a difference.

I would also like to take this opportunity to recognize the incredible team of educators and staff members who dedicate themselves to creating a positive and enriching learning environment for your children. Everyday, our teachers bring their passion, creativity and dedication to the classroom. They inspire our students to think critically, explore their interests, and reach their full potential. Our leadership team, front office staff, social worker, health tech, support staff, custodians, transportation department, and nutrition department all play vital roles in ensuring that our school functions smoothly and that your children have the best experience possible.

Osborn Middle School is proud to be a three-time recipient of the A+ Arizona School of Excellence Award, most recently earning this prestigious recognition in 2025. The A+ designation celebrates schools across Arizona that demonstrate exceptional educational excellence, innovation, and a strong commitment to student success.

At OMS, we provide students with a well-rounded educational experience through rigorous core academic courses in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, along with a variety of engaging exploratory classes, including Art, Physical Education, STEM, Dual Language and our award-winning Band program. 

Learning extends far beyond the classroom at OMS. Our students can participate in a wide range of athletic programs, after-school clubs, and intervention and enrichment opportunities that help them discover new interests, build meaningful relationships, and develop the skills they need to succeed both academically and personally.

I am excited to partner with you this school year and look forward to watching your children learn, grow, and flourish as proud members of the Firehawk Family.

Thank you again for choosing Osborn Middle School for your child’s education.  If you ever have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, please feel free to reach out to me.  Your insights are invaluable as we continue to improve and grow.

With gratitude,

Carol Hayes

 

Hello, and thank you for choosing Osborn Middle School! My name is Allison Ahl-Gomez, and I am honored to serve as the Assistant Principal.

Middle school is a unique and important stage of life- a time filled with growth, adventure, and the occasional challenge as students discover more about who they are and who they want to become. Students need strong parents, teachers, and leaders working in unison as we guide them through this formative time. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a positive influence and source of support, helping each student navigate their middle school journey.

Thank you for trusting Osborn Middle School with your child’s education. Every student who walks through our doors deserves a high-quality learning experience- one that challenges, motivates, and supports them as they prepare for high school and beyond. This is a responsibility we take seriously and with pride.

I value strong communication with our families, so please reach out with any questions, suggestions, or concerns. The success and well-being of your child is our top priority, and we are always here to support you.

Go Firehawks!

Allison Ahl-Gomez
