Colin Cathey, MMS Principal
Welcome to Mulvane Middle School!
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to our school family! Middle school is such an incredible adventure, and we want you to make the absolute most of every single moment. This is your time to shine, discover new passions, and build a rock-solid foundation for a bright, successful future.
Every single teacher and staff member here at MMS is completely invested in you. We are dedicated to helping you reach your highest potential, and we are so excited to see you bring your best effort, curiosity, and positive energy each day. Your education and growth are our absolute top priorities, and we work hard to make sure our school is a fun, supportive, and welcoming place where everyone can thrive.
Middle school is so much more than just what happens in the classroom. We have a fantastic variety of extracurricular activities and clubs waiting for you! We encourage every single student to jump in, try something new, and get involved.
My name is Colin Cathey, and I am ecstatic to serve as your Principal! I have spent the past 27 wonderful years as an educator, wearing a lot of different hats along the way. I started my journey in the classroom as a math teacher and coach for 10 years, spent 3 years as an athletic director and assistant principal, and then served the amazing Topeka West High School community for 10 years as both the associate and building principal.
As I begin my fifth year serving the incredible Mulvane community, my mission hasn't changed. I walk through these doors every single morning with a massive passion to encourage our students, celebrate your efforts, and ensure that every single student finds their own unique path to success.
Let’s make this an unforgettable school year together! If there is ever anything I can do to make your experience at Mulvane Middle School even better, or if you just need a helping hand, please never hesitate to call or reach out.
