Now hiring...come join our NDMS team.
NDMS is proud to introduce Mrs. Erin Wilson as our new health & PE teacher and Griffins soccer coach beginning with our 23-24 calendar year.
The connections that I have built at NDMS and the environment and culture I have already experienced made me feel like this was the next step for me. The encouraging “pushes” I received from current friends and teachers reinforced that this is where I needed to be. With my sports back ground and mindset, I feel that PE and coaching is the perfect fit for me. I am excited to continue to walk the hallways hearing “hey mom” and now “coach” from my NDMS family! Mrs. Wilson
NDMS is proud to introduce Ms. Kourteni Henderson as our new school counselor beginning with our 23-24 school year.
Hello, my name is Kourteni Henderson, and I am elated to join the NDMS team. I’ve been in education since 2014 as a teacher, Master Teacher, and school counselor. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor.
I have an 11 year old son (Ethan), and an 8 year old Cockapoo (Riley). I am very passionate about serving students, and I look forward to doing so at NDMS!

Wishing Mr. Carter GOOD LUCK as a Semifinalist, State Principal of the Year. He is joined by Ms. LaCombe and Mr. Cornet at the 2023 Teacher Leader Summit in New Orleans, Louisiana this week.
NDMS's Zaylon Johnson had a GRAND SLAM that capped an 11-run inning to tie yesterday's game at 28-28.
Summer SHOUT OUT:
Mrs. Johnson is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that we do our absolute best on the EOC. She also does not bore us. She makes math fun and enjoyable. Mrs. Johnson is very kind as well. I don't think that I've ever heard her yell or get upset.
