I want to officially welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year! Summer has come and gone and now we get to move forward to an exciting new opportunity. We have been busy over the summer getting ready for the arrival of our students, and we can’t wait to have them back in the classroom.
My name is Reed McCashland, and I am excited to be the principal at Kimberly Middle School this year! This will be my fourth year as the principal at KMS. I spent the previous seven years working at Desert Sage Elementary in Boise, ID, teaching Physical and Health education. I have a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and a bachelor’s degree in K-12 Physical Education, both from Boise State University. I enjoy running, woodworking, and being with my family. My wife Carrie and I have been married for 13 years, and we have 3 beautiful children. We enjoy camping, traveling, and most things outdoors.
Our focus for the year is creating a Respectful, Responsible, and Safe school for all students. My educational philosophy is to ‘Do what is best for students’, and it guides me in all the professional decisions I make. I believe in the future of our youth and want to always do what is best for them.
As a professional educator, I know the education of children is a difficult job, and it truly does take a village. I look forward to getting to know each of you and your children. If you ever have any ideas, thoughts, or concerns, please feel free to reach me at rmccashland@kimberly.edu or (208) 423-4170 ext. 3209.
It’s a great day to be a Bulldog!
Reed McCashland
Principal, Kimberly Middle School
