Garrison Middle School

What Garrison Middle School does

Garrison Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 in Walla Walla, Washington, operating as part of the Walla Walla Public Schools district. It is located at 906 Chase Ave and is staffed by approximately 73 personnel. Its primary customer base is families and students residing within the district, and it provides a comprehensive public education program including core academics, Dual Immersion, Special Education, Title 1 support, and Highly Capable/Honors tracks, alongside high-school credit courses in Algebra, Geometry, and Spanish 1/2.

The school's product portfolio extends beyond academics into athletics (football, volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball, tennis, and track), a music program (band, orchestra, choir), Art & CTE, and a broad set of after-school clubs including Robotics, STEM, Drama, E-Sports, Latino Club, Book Club, and Student Leadership. Supporting infrastructure includes an on-site Health Center, school counseling, SchooLinks for college and career readiness, and a YONDR-based phone-free learning environment.

Garrison's underlying technology stack is operational and administrative rather than proprietary: Skyward (transitioning to Qmlativ) as the student information system, ParentSquare for family communications, Peachjar for digital flyer distribution, FinalForms for athletic registration, and SafeSchools Alert for anonymous safety tip reporting. Revenue is non-commercial — the school is publicly funded through the district with no tuition, no athletics or ASB fees, and minimal transactional income limited to $32 yearbook sales during a brief annual window. Its go-to-market is community-led: district enrollment, ParentSquare outreach, bi-monthly Principal newsletters, and a multi-channel social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
