Ms. Cynthia Pool - RMS Principal

Welcome from the Principal

Dear Rialto Middle School Families,

My name is Cynthia Pool, and I am honored to serve as the new principal of Rialto Middle School, Home of the Tigers who ROAR with Integrity and Determination. I bring over two decades of experience in education, including roles as a classroom teacher, arts educator, academic coach, and assistant principal at both the middle and high school levels. I am passionate about supporting students from all backgrounds and am committed to creating an inclusive school culture where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to succeed.

Rialto Middle School has a strong tradition of academic excellence, student engagement, and community connection. As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, I look forward to building upon that foundation in partnership with our dedicated staff and families. My leadership will focus on maintaining high expectations, fostering meaningful relationships, and ensuring a safe, respectful, and engaging learning environment for all students.

This year, we will continue to emphasize our school-wide expectations: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe. We encourage every student to get involved, whether through academics, the arts, athletics, or clubs, because students who are connected to their school thrive both academically and socially.

I’m excited to begin this journey with you and look forward to a school year filled with growth, achievement, and Tiger pride. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. I welcome your partnership and feedback as we work together to make Rialto Middle School the best it can be.
