Welcome Shark Families

While only steps from the world's most beautiful beaches and the opportunity to work with the best families and teachers in the state, I am truly blessed to be Principal at the only secondary school of excellence in Bay County as deemed by the FLDOE, Surfside Middle School.

Being a shark is about belonging to a family and that is truly what Surfside is. The faculty, staff, administration all work together for the success of what truly matters, OUR STUDENTS. We foster a community where the students feel safe to learn, dream, and understand that mistakes are part of the life process.

I look forward to working with each of you and welcoming you to our Shark family. Have a Super Shark Day!

 Sincerely,

Matt Pitts, Principal
