Welcome to Loma Alta Middle School.
We want to welcome our military-connected families. We hope that your time in San Antonio is a pleasure as we want to best be able to serve you as you you serve the country.
School is hard enough when you are in Middle School, you do not need to go through it alone. Our goal this year and every year is two fold. One, to create an environment your student wants to be a part of come to love. Two, to establish rapport and build connections with our military families, recognizing all you do and sacrifice for the betterment of our community and country. Whether you are current or former Active Duty, Reserve or Guard in any of the branches, we are here to support you and your student.
Feel free to explore the resources we have to offer if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us.
