Edison Middle School Home

Welcome

The Edison School District was organized on January 9, 1911. Its territory was taken from the Fairfax and Rockpile School Districts. There had been a school district known by the name of Lakeview serving the area from 1896 to 1903, but it lapsed. The Edison School District took its name from the Southern California Edison Company, which at the time was developing power projects in the mountain areas above Edison.

Principal's Message

2026-2027 School Year
WELCOME, PANTHER FAMILIES!
Dear Edison Middle School Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We are ready for a great year at Edison and look forward to having our students back on campus.
 
FIND YOUR WHY: UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL
Find Your Why: Unleash Your Potential is our focus this year.
We want our students to discover what drives them, take ownership of their education, and understand that the work they put in now matters. Our staff will continue to lead with purpose, and we ask our families to stay involved, encourage their children, and be part of the process.
We all have a role in helping our students succeed. 
 
FOLLOW THE PANTHER P.R.I.D.E.
 

 
 We have high expectations for our Panthers. Being Prepared, Respectful, showing Integrity, being Dependable, and Encouraging others sets the standard for how we want our students to carry themselves at Edison.
We will hold our students accountable, recognize them when they do things right, and support them when they need help getting back on track.
 
 

 
 
IMPORTANT DATES FOR 2026–2027
 
Please keep our Important Dates handy throughout the year. We also encourage you to stay connected through ParentSquare and Aeries for updates, reminders, and information about your child's progress.
Being at school, staying informed, and communicating with us matters.
 
TWO PRINCIPALS. ONE MISSION.  
 
Our two-principal model gives us the opportunity to provide more focused leadership and support across our campus.Russell Shipley, Principal of Educational Services, will lead our work in instruction, curriculum, assessment, and academic achievement.
Eric Rumbo, Principal of Support Services, will lead student support, school culture, attendance, activities, special education, and campus operations.
Our responsibilities may be different, but we lead Edison together. We share the same expectations for our students and the same commitment to our staff and families.
 
Thank you for your continued support and for trusting us with your children. We have high expectations for this year, and we are ready to get to work.
FIND YOUR WHY. UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL.
GO PANTHERS!
