Casey Middle School
Now a message from Allison Boggs the principal of Casey Middle School.
Casey is Boulder’s historic middle school where, since 1924, over 25,000 students have successfully begun their secondary school careers. As one parent stated recently, “We are so very happy with all of our son’s experiences at Casey! The teachers have been truly excellent and he’s really enjoyed school in a way he never did before. Casey truly is 'the whole package': great teachers, great environment, bilingual and diverse.” We have been nationally recognized as a "school to watch" in both 2004 and 2006.
